: Data Sharing/Processing Infrastructure Data Catalog and Access Dozens of datasets on aerosols, emissions, fire, meteorology, GIS Aerosol Datasets Software Tools Dozens of datasets on aerosols, emissions, fire, meteorology, GIS DataFed Goals Facilitate the flow of atmospheric data from provider to users Support user-driven data processing value chains Participate in specific application projects Software for the Developer Software for registering distributed datasets to the data federation Web services for data access, processing and rendering Web service chaining for composing custom- designed data views DataFed Technologies and Architecture Form-based, third-party wrapping of distributed data XML Web services for the execution of specific tasks Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for building loosely coupled application programs Meteorological Datasets Interactive Data Browser Data Federation (DataFed) is a web- based infrastructure for distributed data access and collaborative processing/analysis of air quality data Description & Objectives Deliver and use Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) data and tools in support of particulate air quality management and develop a federated PM information sharing network that includes data from NASA, EPA, and US States. SHAirED will: develop access to distributed data (surface and satellite), build Web infrastructure create tools for data processing and analysis. The key technologies used in the project include web services for developing data access and processing tools, and service oriented architecture for chaining web services together to assemble customized applications. DataFed provides the web infrastructure that supports collaborative atmospheric data sharing and development of processing web services. A primary objective of SHAirED is to develop new IT that advances the TRL of DataFed. Scenario: Smoke from Mexico causes record PM over the Eastern US. Goal: Detect smoke emission and predict PM and ozone concentration Support air quality management and transportation safety Impacts: PM and ozone air quality episodes, AQ standard exceedance Transportation safety risks due to reduced visibility Timeline: Routine satellite monitoring of fire and smoke The smoke event triggers intensified sensing and analysis The event is documented for science and management use Science/Air Quality Information Needs: Quantitative real-time fire & smoke emission monitoring PM, ozone forecast (3-5 days) based on smoke emissions data Information Technology Needs: Real-time access to routine and ad-hoc data and models Analysis tools: browsing, fusion, data/model integration Delivery of science-based event summary/forecast to air quality and aviation safety managers and to the public Record Smoke Impact on PM Concentrations Smoke Event Air Quality Application Scenario Tech Reuse Building Reusable Services The goals of the technology development component of SHAirED is to develop web services that adhere to interoperability standards (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI) and foster reuse internally within the project and externally as collaborative links to other projects within the Earth Science Community. Using Reusable Services The project will seek existing data processing components that can assist in attaining its technology development objectives. Because the project is largely basing its development on service oriented architectures, the challenge is to find other organizations with which to collaborate and share web services. Tech Infusion
