Background • AQ Management (AQM) and Science relies on a range of on Earth Observations (EO) form in-situ and remote sensing platforms. • The the procedures and the outcome of AQM are defined by laws and regulations in most countries including the workflow/activities, the key participants and their respective needs. • Hence, AQM is a suitable application area of the Global Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) where the user needs are satisfied by services offered . This is an initial attempt to formulate User Requirements for AQM. The AQ Community of Practice is encouraged to continue its active participation in this effort.
AQ Management: Science View Earth Observations are are most needed for quantifying pollutant emissions, transport and ambient concentrations User Types: Emission Analysts, Modelers, AQ Data Analysts
GEOSS Information Flow Framework AQ Management: Information Flow View GEOSS Core AQ Analyst Modeler AQ Domain Analyst Policy Analyst Policy Maker The AQ Information system processes Earth and other observations into actionable knowledge for policy/decision makers. User Types: AQ data analysts and modelers; health, aquatic and other domain analysts, policy analysts and policy/decision makers
Approach: • Use the Process View to identify the workflow steps • For each step, list the respective required activities • Identify the participants who perform the activities • State their respective needs for EOs, tools and methods Work through GEO AQ Community of Practice
