Air Quality: What can be done with all that Ambient Data?

Talk Title: Air Quality: What can be done witth all that Ambient Data?

Abstract: A fundamental element of air quality management is the ambient measurement of air quality. With the advent of contemporary instrumentation and the capability for fast electronic recording and archiving, a very large, long term data base now exists for much of the United States. These data can be used for a variety of purposes to inform decision makers. Perhaps the simplest application is the documentation of air quality trends. Much more insightful is the use of the data to extend knowledge about source-receptor relationships, and for using observationally-based models to interpret physical and chemical processes that can advance management practices. Some examples of “innovative” analyses using ambient data show the potential for new information about air pollution and its usefulness in creating pollution reduction schemes.
