[edit] Demo Description

• Distributed Access and Analysis OMI NO2 (Rudy Husar and Erin Robison, Washington University)
  • The OMI sensor on the AURA platform has opened up a new era of atmospheric composition characterization and monitoring. The sensor provides global daily coverage of columnar concentration of ozone, NO2, and formaldehyde. It also delivers absorbing aerosol index and other parameters that characterize atmospheric composition. The near-real-time delivery of these products are, in effect, described the "chemical weather", in a similar manner as meteorological satellites characterize the physical weather. These products of atmospheric composition are also available for assimilation into chemical models which in turn can improve the chemical forecasts.
  • A particularly promising application of the OMI data is for air quality management. The high resolution (25km) spatial coverage and the daily repetition augments the current surface-based monitoring in a substantial way. The ability to use the OMI data for air quality applications can be enhanced by information infrastructure that can deliver these data in a timely manner to the users in convenient interfaces. The key purpose of this pilot project is to establish a data flow and processing environment for the transfer of the OMI data from the providers at NASA and ESA (KNML) and air quality analysts {EPA and elsewhere).
