The procedures and the outcome of AQM are defined by laws and regulations in most countries including the workflow/activities, the key participants and their respective needs.
AQ Management (AQM) and Science relies on a range of Earth Observations (EO) from in-situ and remote sensing platforms.
Hence, AQM is a suitable application area of the Global Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) where the user needs are satisfied by services offered .
This is an initial attempt to formulate User Requirements for AQM. The AQ Community of Practice is encouraged to continue its active participation in this effort.
This provides a base case for the gap analysis. Next one defines the desired stateThe gap is the difference between the current and desired state.

Forum to Develop AQ Requirements: GEO AQ Community of Practice
Methodology for Gathering User Requirements:
1. State the SB Sub-Area: e.g. Manage Air Quality 2. Define Major Workflow Steps of the SBA3. Name the Value-Adding Activities4. Identify Participants for Each Activity (i.e. the ‘Users’)5. Determine the Participant’s EO Needs

UIC Objectives
• Enable GEO to address in a systematic, targeted, focused and comprehensive way the needs and concerns of a broad range of user communities in developing and developed countries, across issues and trans-disciplinary needs, with a particular focus on fostering new or less organized communities.
• Enable GEO, in the implementation of GEOSS, to engage a continuum of users, from producers to the final beneficiaries of the data and information
• Facilitate linkages and partnerships between established CPs and new user groups or organizations interested in collaborating.

How to Approach Users in the Lower Half of the Spectrum
• What do they do in their occupation and what does their organization do? Is there a web-site?
• How would they describe their more important activities? What are those of their organization?
• What decision-making are they involved in, either directly or indirectly by providing research or decision support tool development?
• What impact/benefits result or might potentially result from this decision-making, including the expected timeframe of the impact/benefits? Does the organization measure the impacts/benefits?
![Page 24: Phase I. Determine Earth Observation Requirements for Air Quality SB Sub-Area (AQ CoP)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568131fb550346895d9856ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How to Approach Users in the Lower Half of the Spectrum
• Does your organization operate a system or systems that collect observational data, either in-situ or remotely sensed? Describe these systems. Are they part of a larger system?
• What observational data, geographical data, socio-economic data and/or models/forecasts, if any, are used in the decision-making or the indirect support to the decision-making
• What are the needs for additional information that could improve the decision-making or the indirect support to the decision-making?
• What regional or international working groups are you a member of or on the mailing list of?
