This package contains the Historical NARSTO Program Assessments and Website Content. NARSTO was a public/private partnership dedicated to improving management of air quality in North America. It was established on February 13, 1995 when representatives of Canada, the United States, and Mexico signed the NARSTO Charter in a ceremony at the White House. (Originally North American Research Strategy for Tropospheric Ozone.) The NARSTO organization, having met the goals of its 1995 charter, was disbanded as of December 31, 2010. Since its founding, NARSTO has completed four major scientific Assessments of critical air quality management issues. NARSTO maintained the Quality Systems Science Center and the NARSTO Data Archive for storing data from NARSTO Affiliated Research Activities and making these data available to the scientific community. NARSTO also facilitated activities, such as the Reactivity Research Working Group, which provide critical reviews of the state of the science in areas of interest to air quality policy makers. NARSTO worked to improve collaboration between the air-quality and health-sciences research communities, to advance understanding of the scientific issues involved in effecting a multi-pollutant/multi-media approach to air quality management, and to increase understanding of the linkages between air quality and climate change.The NARSTO assessments and narsto.org website content are available at this data archive and may be downloaded in one .zip file. Data from NARSTO sponsored field campaigns will remain available through the Permanent Data Archive maintained by the NASA Langley Research Center Atmospheric Science Data Center (https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/project/NARSTO).
