1. The FASTNET Project Presented by: Sean Raffuse 1 Rudy Husar 2 Rich Poirot and Gary Kleiman 3 1 Sonoma Technology, Inc. 2 Center for Air Pollution Impact and Trend Analysis (CAPITA) 3 NESCAUM Presented at: U.S. EPA 2005 National Air Quality Conference San Francisco, CA February 13-16, 2005 STI-2646

4. Within DATAFED.NET, FASTNET is one of many “ Projects” which Share Many Common “ Datasets” which are Archived & Accessible & can be Viewed, Compared, Exported, Analyzed & Interpreted, using a variety of Web-Based “ Applications” FASTNET uses the DataFed.net infrastructure Supported by NSF, NASA, EPA and other Agencies

5. DataFed Synthesizes Data for Analyses Image Files Ambient Monitors Emission Inventories Fire Locations Meteorology GIS Maps Satellite Imagery Data Data Retrieval Service Outputs Websites Maps Graphs XML CSV Analyst Consoles Custom Consoles Manager Console Connects to various data types And creates standard data views Which can be incorporated into websites Databases

6. Real-time Real-time Real-time

7. Data Catalog(s) Provide Access to Many: Fast (rapidly available), Current (near-real-time, recently archived & continuing) and Slow (historical data Like IMPROVE Aerosol & ATAD trajectories)

9. This is one of several Analyst Consoles Visibility Meteorological parameters Satellite indices Fires Aerosol models Imagery

10. Analyst Console Applications: Sulfate Episode: 8/27/04 Sulfate in the Northeast Sahara Dust in the Gulf Fires in the Southeast Time Series Console: Southeast

12. Event Tracker provides pre-selected views and links to other information Analyst summaries

13. High winds in northeast Texas and Oklahoma Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) Model shows dust in this area

14. Air Quality Manager’s Console Browse a subset of the FASTNET data in time and space with a simple GIS interface Hourly PM 2.5 Visibility Fire Locations GIS Data Layers

15. Satellite images News stories

20. Satellite detects fires in the Southeast But PM 2.5 values are small

21. The NAAPS model suggests the high PM 2.5 in the Northeast is due to sulfate

22. Users can customize views by layering the many available data sets These custom views can be incorporated into their own websites
