5. FASTNET and DataFed FASTNET (Fast Aerosol Sensing Tools for Natural Event Tracking) an open communal information sharing facility to study aerosol events , including detection, tracking and impact on PM and haze. The main asset of FASTNET is the community of data analysts, modelers, managers participating in the production of actionable knowledge from data and models The community is supported by a non-intrusive data integration infrastructure based on Internet standards (web services) and a set of web-tools evolving under the federated data system, DataFed DataFed is supported by its community and is under the umbrella of the interagency Earth Science Information Partners, ESIP (NASA, NOAA and EPA)
