• CATT Future
• Add Additional Ensemble Trajectory Metrics
• Automatically update as new Traj Aerosol
  data are available (Kristi Gebhart has just
  updated ATADs for most recent IMPROVE)
• Add Additional Aerosol (STN) Trajectory Data
  (Kristi is Willing to Crank ATADs for Entire STN
  Network triple site density)

• Continued Support from MANE-VU, other RPOs(?)
  other DataFed.Net Partners (NSF, NASA, EPA, etc.).

Aerosol Event Catalog Distributed Web pages

• Aerosol events appear any time and place and
  analyzed by many organizations.
• The event info. is encoded, cataloged and
  accessed through Event Catalog
• Each event is given attributes location and
  time of occurrence and aerosol type (dust, smoke,
  haze, other)
• This allows graphic browsing of event-related
  information on maps and calendars and linking the
  info source, e.g. TNRCC.
• Ideas on the Event Catalog (content, structure,
  interface, maintenance, etc) are welcome.

Feb 19 2004

• Isolated high PM25 occurs over the Midwest,
  Northeast and Texas
• Aerosol patches are evident in AIRNOWPM25, ASOS
  Fbext maps
• The absence of TOMS signal indicates the lack of
  smoke or dust at high elevation
• The high surface wind speed over Texas, hints on
  possible dust storm activity

• The NAAPS model shows high sulfate over the
  Great Lakes, but no biomass smoke
• Possible event causes nitrate in the Upper
  Midwest and Northeast, sulfate around the Great
  Lakes and dust over Texas

36
Aug 18

• This episode has an intensive region in the
  Northeast and another in the Southeastern US
• The AIRNOW, ASOS and Visibility all show similar
  location of elevated aerosol
• Highest MODIS AOT and GASP AOT values occur over
  the Northeast
• The surface winds indicate stagnation over the
  southeastern EUS

• NAAPS model predicts high sulfate in the
  Northeast and biomass smoke over the Southeast
• Possible causes sulfate episode in the
  Northeast, smoke and sulfate in the Southeast(?)

37

• FASTNET Future
• Link various image data (photos, satellite,
  etc.) to Events,
• Add New Data ( Datasets, like RAINS) Continue
  Archival,
• Link New Fast to Old Slow (IMPROVE Aerosol
  Traj.) Data,
• Compare Aerosol/haze indicators to Emissions
  Model Data,
• Automated Event Detection Analysis Methods!

• Continued Support from MANE-VU, other RPOs(?)
  other DataFed.Net Partners (NSF, NASA, EPA, etc.).
