MANE-VU Status Report on CATT and FASTNET R. Poirot, VT DEC, 9/30/04

CATT: Combined Aerosol Trajectory Tools

FASTNET: Fast Aerosol Sensing Tools for Natural Event Tracking

Both are Inter-RPO Projects, Conducted by CAPITA (R. Husar),

Managed for MANE-VU by:

MARAMA (Serpil Kayin, CATT) & NESCAUM (Gary Kleiman, FASTNET)

Status: CATT & FASTNET have been Eaten by DataFed.Net

Within DATAFED.NET, CATT & FASTNET

are 2 of many

“Projects”

which Share Many Common

“Datasets”

which can be Viewed, Compared, Archived, Exported, Analyzed & Interpreted, using a variety of Tools &

Web-Based

“Applications”

Data Catalog(s) Provide Access to Many: Fast (rapidly available), Current (near-real-time, recently archived & continuing) and Slow (historical data Like IMPROVE Aerosol & ATAD trajectories)

Data Catalogs: Aerosol, Fire, Maps, Meteorology, Emissions, Images, Events

Data Viewer:

Open & View Any File in Catalog(s).

Many Files Include Time

Series, Linked to Map –

Point & Click.

Data Files Accessed & Archived Specifically for FASTNET. Note Varying Start dates (1988-2004), with Most Continuing.

VIEWS_CHEM (IMPROVE Aerosol) and ATAD Trajectories (NPS) are currently used in CATT Applications

All US sites, SO4 >=15

Areas upwind of all sites for Highest dv = Highest SO4

Areas upwind of High SO4 = areas of high SO2 emissions

SURF_MET bext & “dry bext” (& other met) is global.

3873 sites for this hour, 1795 (circled) reporting bext.

In “North American” domain below, there are 1870 sites with 1425 reporting visibility (blue).

Red sites are 249 US-only, ASOS-only sites for which STI provides higher resolution bext, based on access to raw, uncensored data.
