Status Report on CATT and FASTNET R. Poirot, VT DEC & R. Husar, CAPITA, 9/29/04

CATT: Combined Aerosol Trajectory Tools

FASTNET: Fast Aerosol Sensing Tools for Natural Event Tracking

Both are Inter-RPO Projects, Conducted by CAPITA

Managed for MANE-VU by:

MARAMA (Serpil Kayin, CATT) & NESCAUM (Gary Kleiman, FASTNET)

Status: CATT & FASTNET have been Eaten by DataFed.Net

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

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

Kitty “How To”, for Review

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.).
