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) http://www.anr.state.vt.us/air/Planning/PublicDocs/FastCatMV2.ppt
Within DATAFED.NET, CATT & FASTNET are 2 of many “Projects” which Share Many Common “Datasets” which are Archived & Accessible & can be Viewed, Compared, Exported, Analyzed & Interpreted, using a variety of 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. Zoom Map or Time series, Change Size, Symbols, Variables, Add Layers, Export Data – Copy Paste.
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
DataFed.net Large Collection of Projects, Data, Tools. Where’s CATT “Start”? Kitty Start with Kitty:http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/datafed.aspx?view=Kitty
Kitty Change Species or Site Filtering & Data Export Acadia SO4 > 15 ug/m3 Change Sites by Point & Click
1. Start with Kitty to Explore Any Combinations of IMPROVE & ATAD Traj. Data (any/all sites & years). 2. Export CSV file of Selected Data & Copy/Paste into CSV Table Editor and Save for Subsequent Analysis.
1. Change Traj Sort. 2. Plot in Kitty 2. Export file as CSV data. 3. Copy/Paste into File Editor,Save. 4. Open YourFile in TrajAggGrid… Save(d) as: ALLpost99OCge10.csv
Select All Sites and Dates after 1/1/99 if : Organic Carbon >= 10 ug/m3. Fires in the West & Southeast (but not much in MANE-VU) Save CSV file & open in Trajectory Aggregator/Gridder, Weight Traj. by OC Concentration (or not), Normalize (or not) & Plot.
Na >= 1.5 ug/m3 Sea Salt Comes from the Sea, as She Should. BRIG & ACAD Battelle PMF/Unmix modeling indicated a Sea Salt source at 6 MANE-VU sites, Increasing over time. Why? Is West Coast Sea Salt Increasing?
Fine Soil >7.5, post-1999, All Sites & All Months Western & Asian Dust (Primarily Spring) Eastern Sahara Dust (Primarily Summer) Fine Soil > 7.5, All Years, All Sites, July-Only
Arsenic Selenium Nickel Nickel Nickel
If SO4 > 15 for entire IMPROVE network and entire period of record (25 sites). Top 10% of “Secondary Sulfate Source” from Battelle PMF at ACAD, BRIG, GRSM, LYBR, MACA, SHEN & WASH (7 sites)
Areas upwind of High SO4 = areas of high SO2 emissions All US sites, SO4 >=15 Areas upwind of all sites for Highest dv = Highest SO4 1999 EGU SO2 Emissions from EPA Clean Air Markets, layered with NPS ATAD trajectories for high IMPROVE SO4 via DataFed Viewer... All US sites, dv >=30

SO4 > 15 ug/m3 Kitty “How To”, for Review • From Kitty, http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/datafed.aspx?view=Kitty • select All Locations & YourSpecies >= X (using “Q” button) • Export CSV Data (“D” button) & Copy/Paste into CSV File Editor & Submitter: http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/editfile.aspx • Save as YourFileName.csv • To Plot in Trajectory Aggregator & Gridder, substitute YourFileName.csv for ALLDVge30.csv) • http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/datafed.aspx?view=TrajAggGrid&csv_url=ALLDVge30.csv&value_column=value&scale_max=0.004
CATT Future: • Add Additional Ensemble Trajectory Metrics • “Automatically” update as new Traj & Aerosol data are available (Kristi Gebhart has just updated ATADs for most recent IMPROVE) • Add Additional Aerosol (STN) & Trajectory Data (Kristi is Willing to Crank ATADs for Entire STN Network – triple site density) • Continued Support from MANE-VU, other RPOs(?) & other DataFed.Net Partners (NSF, NASA, EPA, etc.).
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.

FASTNET Future: • Link various “image data” (photos, satellite, etc.) to “Events”, • Add New Data (& Datasets, like RAINS) & Continue Archival, • Link New Fast to Old Slow (IMPROVE Aerosol & Traj.) Data, • Compare Aerosol/haze indicators to Emissions & Model Data, • Automated “Event Detection” & Analysis Methods! • Continued Support from MANE-VU, other RPOs(?) & other DataFed.Net Partners (NSF, NASA, EPA, etc.).
Feb 19 2004: • Isolated high PM25 occurs over the Midwest, Northeast and Texas • Aerosol patches are evident in AIRNOWPM25, ASOS & Fbext maps • The absence of TOMS signal indicates the lack of smoke or dust at high elevation • The high surface wind speed over Texas, hints on possible dust storm activity • The NAAPS model shows high sulfate over the Great Lakes, but no biomass smoke • Possible event causes: nitrate in the Upper Midwest and Northeast, sulfate around the Great Lakes and dust over Texas
Aug 18 • This episode has an intensive region in the Northeast and another in the Southeastern US • The AIRNOW, ASOS and Visibility all show similar location of elevated aerosol • Highest MODIS AOT and GASP AOT values occur over the Northeast • The surface winds indicate stagnation over the southeastern EUS • NAAPS model predicts high sulfate in the Northeast and biomass smoke over the Southeast • Possible causes: sulfate episode in the Northeast, smoke and sulfate in the Southeast(?)
