Summary • The current challenges for air quality information systems include delivery of air quality data in real time, characterization of air pollution through the integration of multi-sensory data and providing agile support to regulatory management. The talk describes the architecture and implementation of a standards based system for accessing and processing air quality data. The web services based architecture is illustrated through two use cases: (1) real time monitoring of a smoke event and (2) hemispheric transport of air pollutants.

GEOSS and National/Regional Air Quality Assessment • The GEOSS global view establishes the larger-scalecontext • Regional perspective focuses on the detailed characterization of local features GEOSS Global Local Air Quality Benefit Global data, tools => Broader context, cost savings Global analysis => Spatial context, Characterization Intellectual Resources => Collaboration, Analysis Regional GEOSS Benefit Local data, tools => Enriched global resource pool Local data analysis => More detail, insights, Intellectual Resources => Collaboration, Analysis • AQ data analysis needs to be performed at both through GEOSS and regional programs • GEOSS Information Architecture needs to support global-regional information exchange.

VIEWS RPO Federated Information System • Data producers maintain their own workspace and resources (data, reports, comments). • However, part of the resources are shared through a Federated Information System. • Web-based integration of the shared resources can be across several dimensions: Applications Private Shared PM Policy Regulation RPO Data sharing federations: • Open GIS Consortium (GIS data layers) • NASA SEEDS network (Satellite data) • NSF Digital Government • EPA’s National Env. Info Exch. Network. Mitigation RPO Federated Data System Data, Tools, Methods Other Federations Portal ESIP Portal Unidata Portal User communities Data to be “dispersed” to multiple “portals”, each serve different clientele Open architecture allows portals to reconfigure resource collections
