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. FASTNET is one of many projects within DataFed.net which share common data sets which are archived and accessible and can be viewed, compared, exported, analyzed, and 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. AIRNow and FASTNET The AIRNow PM 2.5 data set is the benchmark parameter used in FASTNET The products of FASTNET have the potential to be returned to AIRNow to provide context Hourly PM 2.5 data Tools and the analyst community Event analysis, packaging, and context

7. Real-time Real-time Real-time

8. Data catalog(s) provide access to many fast (rapidly available), current (near-real-time, recently archived and continuing), and slow (historical data like IMPROVE Aerosol and ATAD trajectories)

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

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

13. 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

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

15. Satellite images News stories

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

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

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

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