Project leverages AQAST connections and efforts involving: NASA Toolsets for Airborne Data (TAD) model evaluation and adjoint modeling under Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution (TF-HTAP) and UNEP Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CACC), UAH Physical model evaluation activities of GOES and MODIS cloud and surface properties for numerical model evaluation, and Air Quality Reanalysis Project. Outcome: Added Value to user-agency (EPA) supported system and common infrastructure for delivery satellite and model data sets and tools from AQAST.

Add functionally for user to use local model grid definition files to re-rid satellite data to model domain. GOES Data Products Begin to incorporate satelliteto- model evaluation methods into AQAST web-based tools and RSIG application for continued use user applications. Where feasible, include application of satellite average kernels. Outputs to include basic satellite-to- model comparative statistics. Leverage AQAST efforts supporting satellite- measurement model evaluation under TF-HTAP.
