Response to EPA STAR RFA
Extreme Event Impacts on Air Quality and Water Quality with a Changing Global Climate
• Scenario: Smoke form Mexico causes record PM over the Eastern US.
• Goal: Detect smoke emission and predict PM and ozone concentrationSupport air quality management and transportation safety
• Impacts: PM and ozone air quality episodes, AQ standard exceedanceTransportation safety risks due to reduced visibility
• Timeline: Routine satellite monitoring of fire and smokeThe smoke event triggers intensified sensing and analysisThe event is documented for science and management use
• Science/Air Quality Information Needs:Quantitative real-time fire & smoke emission monitoring PM, ozone forecast (3-5 days) based on smoke emissions data
• Information Technology Needs:Real-time access to routine and ad-hoc data and modelsAnalysis tools: browsing, fusion, data/model integrationDelivery of science-based event summary/forecast to air quality and
