Presentation Transcript

  1. Tropospheric Working Group: Air Quality (AQ) from Space Conveners: Bryan Duncan1,2 (Bryan.N.Duncan@nasa.gov) Ken Pickering1 (Kenneth.E.Pickering@nasa.gov) 1Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Branch NASA Goddard Space Flight Center 2Goddard Earth Science & Technology Center, UMBC Objectives and Goals 1) What is being done now for air quality? 2) What are the limitations and strengths of data for air quality issues? 3) Stimulate ideas/science/collaborations. 4) Give feedback to algorithm people.

  2. Mandate for Air Quality (AQ) from Space?  The National Academies Decadal Survey: “Chemical weather has a direct impact in a number of areas of interest for this study, especially air quality and human health.”  NASA named air quality as one of “12 applications of national priority”. The Applied Sciences Program identifies practical uses of NASA-sponsored observations and science models “to provide decision support”.

  3. Instruments of Interest TES Products: O3, CO OMI Products: Trop NO2, TCO, SO2, H2CO, aerosols TES – indirect applications (e.g., data assimilation & inverse modeling) OMI – “sees” boundary layer with limited efficiency, so more direct applications (e.g., emission estimates).

  4. TIGHT SCHEDULE!!!! Please stay within your allotted time! Your 1-2 slides are designed to stimulate discussion, not to make a formal presentation! Your 5 min includes questions & time required to put on a microphone & load your file! Bryan (= bad cop) will enforce time limits because he’s far less pleasant than Ken (= good cop).

  5. Discussions Sessions 1) Detection of Boundary Layer Trace Gases 2) Retrieval and AQ issues for OMI NO2 3) Future work with Aura data for Air Quality Questions to Keep in Mind a) Is the current data useful to EPA now? b) What products would EPA like to have? c) Who will fund the development of these data products? NASA? EPA?

  6. Introductory Presentations AQ : Ken Pickering/Joseph Vaughan/Shobha Kondragunta “What are the satellite data needs of the air quality community?” Aerosols : Mian Chin “Possibilities and challenges in using satellite aerosol data for air quality.” Trace Gases : Randall Martin/Folkert Boersma “Successes and challenges in satellite remote sensing of trace gases for air quality applications.”
