and

data users

tobenefit society

using the GEO Process and

11AQ Regulatory Application: Exceptional Events

Atmospheric Composition Portal

Objectives

• Provide access, tools, and contextual guidance to scientists and value-

• Foster interoperability and application of atmospheric composition data, information and services worldwide

• Start with DLR and NASA, work with partners in CEOS and the broader AC community in advancing the AC Portal

AQ CoP Goal:

Support the Development of a

AQ Community

GEO Process

Functioning AQ System of Systems by 2015

Use of AQ Observations

Tools & Methods that Work with Distribute Data

Sharing Practical Knowledge Useful for Decision Making

AQ Community of Practice AQ Community of Practice

By Connecting and Enabling

AQ CoP Challenges

• Broader Participation by Non- US members– More incentives to provide and use networked data– Develop trust and acceptance by the AQ community– Clearer CoP scope, governance and links to others

• More Networked AQ Data– More tech support to early adopters – More incentives to provide and use networked data
