Background
• AQ Management (AQM) and Science relies on a range of on Earth Observations (EO) form in-situ and remote sensing platforms.
• The the procedures and the outcome of AQM are defined by laws and regulations in most countries including the workflow/activities, the key participants and their respective needs.
• Hence, AQM is a suitable application area of the Global Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) where the user needs are satisfied by services offered .
This is an initial attempt to formulate EO needs of AQM. The AQ Community of Practice is invited to contribute to this effort.
AQ Management: Science View
Earth Observations are are most needed for quantifying pollutant emissions, transport and ambient concentrations
User Types: Emission Analysts, Modelers, AQ Data Analysts
GEOSS Information Flow Framework
Policy Maker
Policy Analyst
AQ Domain Analyst
AQ Analyst Modeler
AQ Management: Information Flow View
GEOSS Core
The AQ Information system processes Earth and other observations into actionable knowledge for policy/decision makers.
User Types: AQ data analysts and modelers; health, aquatic and other domain analysts, policy analysts and policy/decision makers
AQ Management: Process ViewBackmann, Scheffe
Approach to Define EO Needs for AQM
1. Use the Process View to identify the workflow steps2. For each step, list the respective required activities3. Identify the participants who perform the activities4. State their respective needs for EOs, tools and methods
