What makes AQAST unique?
All AQAST projects connect Earth Science and air quality management: Involve active partnerships with air quality managers, have deliverable
outcomesExpand relationships through meetings, online tools, newsletters
AQAST has flexibility in how it allocates its resources Members adjust work plans to meet evolving air quality needs Multi-member “Tiger Teams” are organized each year to address newly
emerging, pressing problems requiring coordinated activity AQAST is self-organizing and can respond quickly to demands
Quick, collaborative, flexible, responsive to the needs of the AQ community www.aqast.org

7Semiannual AQAST meetings
• Share knowledge and experience in using Earth Science data and tools for serving AQ management
• Educate AQ managers in the use of Earth Science data and tools, educate Earth scientists on AQ needs
• Hear about pressing AQ management issues, and determine how AQAST can help

15Current satellite observations of methane available from GOSAT
GOSAT data, May-June 2010Correction factors to EDGAR v4.2from preliminary inversion
• GOSAT data are sparser than SCIAMACHY (RIP 2005) but of good quality; TROPOMI (2015 launch) will give full daily coverage
• We are presently working to squeeze all the information we can get from the GOSAT data; need stakeholder interest to focus our efforts
• Is this of interest to CenSARA? Can we develop collaborations?

• Data can be used to evaluate reactive VOC emissions in regional AQ models
• Unexpected hotspots can be identified (oil/gas operations?)
• Can cover CenSARA region if there is interest – or focus on suspected hotspots?
