5. What makes AQAST unique? All AQAST projects connect Earth Science and air quality management  Involve active partnerships with air quality managers, have deliverable application outcomes  Expand relationships through meetings, online tools, newsletters, surveys AQAST has flexibility in how it allocates its resources  Members adjust work plans to meet evolving air quality needs  Multi-member “Tiger Teams” are organized each year in consultation with air quality management community to address pressing problems requiring coordinated activity  AQAST is self-organizing and can respond quickly to demands Quick, collaborative, flexible, responsive to the needs of the AQ community www.aqast.org 5

6. Year 4 Tiger Teams 1.Web-enabled tools for air quality management decision support (Szykman, Spak) with EPA, Iowa DNR, San Joaquin Valley APCD 2. Source contributions to O 3 and PM 2.5 pollution episodes across Eastern US (Holloway, Fiore) with LADCO, Wisconsin DNR, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, MDE, TCEQ 3. Dynamic inputs of Natural Conditions for Air Quality Models (DYNAMO) (Cohan) with EPA, TCEQ, CARB 4.Satellite NO 2 columns, NO x emissions, and air quality in North America (Streets) with EPA, LADCO, MDE 5. Satellite signatures of emissions associated with US oil & gas extraction (Thompson) with BLM, EPA Region 8, MARAMA, CenSARA, Oklahoma DEQ, MDE, CDPHE 6. Air quality reanalysis (translating research to services) (Carmichael) with EPA, CARB, Georgia DNR, MDE, Virginia DEQ 7. Evaluation of AQAST’s impact on the air quality management community (Milford) with EPA, WRAP, SJVACPD

7. AQAST projects cover wide range of themes, Earth Science resources, AQ agency partners AQ agency Local: RAQC, BAAQD, SJVAPCD, CDPHE States: California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming Regional: LADCO, CenSARA, MARAMA National: EPA, NOAA, NPS, BLM Theme SIP Modeling AQ processes Monitoring AQ-Climate Background IC/BC for AQ models Forecasting Emissions Future satellites Earth Science resource Satellites: MODIS, MISR, MOPITT, AIRS, OMI, TES, GOES, GOME-2 Suborbital: ARCTAS, DISCOVER-AQ, ozonesondes, PANDORA Models: MOZART, CAM, AM-3, GEOS-Chem, RAQMS, STEM, GISS, CMIP 92 AQAST publications in peer-reviewed literature

8. Many facets of AQAST support of air quality management publications for managers ozone gardens network media days organization of conferences training workshops exceptional event designations AQAST media center software tools

9. Continuity of AQ measurements from space ensured by operational satellites GOME-2 and IASI (Europe), OMPS and VIIRS (US) GOME2-B SAO OMPS 09:30 LT13:30 LT Summer 2013 Formaldehyde TROPOMI to be launched in 2016: daily NO 2, formaldehyde, ozone, CO, methane at 7x7 km 2 resolution Current methane observations from GOSAT

10. Next frontier: NASA TEMPO geostationary satellite data 2018-2021 launch; PI Kelly Chance (Harvard-Smithsonian) Hourly observations at 2x2 km 2 resolution Aerosol optical depth, ozone, NO 2, formaldehyde, SO 2 … First measurements of ozone in boundary layer (visible Chappuis bands) Part of a geostationary constellation with concurrent satellites observing East Asia and Europe Need to develop framework for early/effective use ot TEMPO data by AQ managers

11. What future for AQAST? Mandate of current team ends in 2016; first-of-its-kind NASA Applications Science Team AQAST evaluation Tiger Team will study impact, lessons learned Other applications communities will want their “AQAST” too! AQAST needs to continue in some form Maintain the network of partnerships developed with user community AQ issues continue to evolve rapidly Exploit new opportunities offered by TROPOMI, TEMPO

12. A sample of testimonials from AQ managers… “AQAST’s participation in EPA’s stratospheric intrustion workgroup has been a big success… AQAST is being held up as an example of the type of relationship EPA would like to have with NASA….” (Terry Keating, EPA) “The N-deposition AQAST project will support the review of the secondary NAAQS…” (Rich Scheffe, EPA) “AQAST has provided vital information on two specific aspects of background ozone that have directly informed EPA policy planning…” (Pat Dolwick, EPA) “AQAST’s Rapid Benefits Calculator alleviates a major limiting factor for quantifying the impacts of air pollutants around the world…” (Susan Anenberg, EPA) “AQAST helps us answer very important questions for the state…” (Angie Dickens, Wisconsin DNR) “The support from AQAST has provided enormous benefit for the Maryland ozone SIP…” (George Aburn, MDE) “AQAST improves the decision-making system…” (Ajith Kaduwela, CARB) “I applaud AQAST for developing techniques for using satellite data to improve modeling of the physical atmosphere…" (Bright Dornblaser, TCEQ) “Your work has been invaluable to us…In AQAST, we have a team of experts to turn to (Patrick Reddy, Colorado DPHE) “AQAST allowed us to use state-of-science boundary conditions for our ozone SIP and document exceptional events (Kenneth Lloyd, RAQC)
