Ozone data integration for OTAG air quality analysis and model evaluation
- Washington Univ., St. Louis, MO (United States). Center for Air Pollution Impact and Trend Analysis
The Ozone Transport Assessment Group (OTAG) Air Quality Analysis Workgroup has conducted an extensive analysis of the spatial and temporal pattern of ozone, the relationship between ozone and transport, as well as a comparison of model simulations with data. Much of the analysis and model comparison has utilized an integrated ozone database. Ozone monitoring data from seven different data sources were acquired and prepared in a common format. Subsequently, the data were integrated and fused into a single database with common units as well as uniform geographic and temporal coding. The integrated data set was extensively quality controlled utilizing a variety of different methods. The resulting data set yielded ozone data between 1988--1995 for over 600 urban, suburban and rural sites over the OTAG domain. The supplied data sets were from AIRS; CASTNet; EMEFS, SCION; LADCO; Georgia; North Carolina. All the raw and re-formatted air quality data were shared through the OTAG Air Quality Analysis website. The data sets were also specially prepared and supplied to the OTAG Modeling Workgroup for comparison with the OTAG UAM-V model output.
