Problems associated with the development of the measurement of air pollution from satellites (MAPS) experiment program are addressed. The primary thrust of this research was the utilization of the MAPS experiment data in three application areas: low altitude aircraft flights (one to six km), mid altitude aircraft flights (eight to 12 km), and orbiting space platforms. Extensive research work in four major areas of data management was the framework for implementation of the MAPS experiment technique. These areas are: (1) data acquisition, (2) data processing, analysis and interpretation algorithms, (3) data display techniques, and (4) information production.
