1. Technical Support System Review http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss / http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss / RPO Monitoring/Data Analysis Workgroup Conference Call April 12, 2007

2. TSS Goals Provide a single web-based location for: –Access and display of regional haze technical data –Reference location to support individual regional haze plans Document technical methods for regional haze plans

3. TSS Goals Ongoing tracking and assessment –Emissions reductions –Monitoring data for regional haze and other air quality programs Adapt to and serve future regional technical needs of WRAP members

4. WRAP Technical Data Information Centers Visibility Information Exchange Web System (VIEWS): VIEWS provides on-line access to monitoring data, research results and special studies related to visibility. http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/views/ http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/views/ Regional Modeling Center: The WRAP’s Regional Modeling Center at the University of California Riverside provides state and tribal agencies with sophisticated modeling of regional haze in the Western United States. http://pah.cert.ucr.edu/aqm/308/http://pah.cert.ucr.edu/aqm/308/ Emissions Data Management System: An emission inventory data warehouse for states and tribes. The system provides a consistent, complete and regional approach to emissions data management and tracking. http://www.wrapedms.org/http://www.wrapedms.org/ Causes of Haze Assessment: A detailed analysis of ambient monitoring data for regional haze in the WRAP region. http://www.coha.dri.edu/http://www.coha.dri.edu/ The Technical Support System integrates a number of different information resources under one web-based umbrella. http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tsshttp://vista.cira.colostate.edu/tss

5. WRAP Data Centers Support the TSS Data Centers Planning/Decision Tool & Summary Data Haze monitoring data Modeling analysis results Emissions data Monitoring analysis results

6. TSS Overview Interactive tools to support SIP writers’ needs Graphs Tables Maps Incorporates Tribal areas Data tables available for download –Analysts can examine data and reformat graphics as required

7. Home Page

8. Resources Page Data results and standard displays for monitoring, emissions, and modeling analyses

9. Methods Page Summary documents describing the technical methods used in monitoring, emissions, and modeling analyses

10. Site Selection Selections include one or more individual Class I areas, all in a state, or tribal lands represented by IMPROVE monitors

11. Reasonable Progress Support Page* Designed as a starting point for SIP writers to access and compile technical analysis products to support demonstrations of reasonable progress *(currently under revision; formerly the Weight of Evidence Checklist page)

12. Monitoring Data Page Monitoring data review choices include: Parameter(s) IMPROVE equation Year(s) Various averaging periods Deciview or species glideslopes

13. Modeling Data Page Modeling data review choices similar to the Monitoring page plus: Modeling scenario(s) Model performance evaluation Model projections Paired bars: 2002 (left) vs. 2018 (right)

14. Emissions Data Page Emissions data page under development. Currently exists as a series of spreadsheets.

15. Source Apportionment – SOx/NOx Tracer SOx/NOx tracer options: Emissions scenario(s) Source categories Source regions Compare with state emissions (coming soon) Identify important regions Review temporal contributions

16. Available for all major pollutants, products include: Sets of maps Source region/category results Source Apportionment – Weighted Emissions Weighted Emissions Potential (WEP) analysis combines emissions with baseline period meteorological residence times to help identify areas of potential contribution

17. Source Apportionment – Organic Aerosol Tracer This tool can be used to identify periods of potential fire impact. It separates modeled organic aerosol into: Anthro. secondary (red) Biogenic secondary (green) Anthro. + biogenic primary (blue) Class I area (above); Urban area (right)

18. TSS review and clean-up in progress TSS training –Webinar session for WRAP planners on April 13 –Tribal session week of June 4 –Workshop: June 19-20 IMPROVE data updates for 2005 and 2006 Link with other web sites/data nodes: –Fire Emissions Tracking System (FETS) –Emissions Data Management System (EDMS) Ongoing TSS Work
