AC PortalMission Statement

• Provide access, tools, and contextual guidance to
  scientists and value-adding organizations in
  using remotely sensed atmospheric composition
  data, information, and services.
• Help foster interoperability and application of
  atmospheric composition data, information and
  services worldwide.
• Identify the unique requirements and common
  (shared) features of the ACC and GEOSS users to
  provide a value-added and complementary
  capability.
• Work with partners in CEOS and the broader AC
  community in advancing the AC Portal

Features of an AC Portal
information to help understand and use data
improved access to data
OMI
GOME-2
MODIS
SCIAMACHY/ AATSR
others
tools for processing and analysis
forums for exchanging analyses and other
information

AC Portal brings together data tools from
multiple institutions for multiple uses
AC Portal
WDC-RSAT
Goal is to use DLR and NASA capabilities and
resources to design and begin the development an
initial (beta) version of the AC Portal but to
invite other WGISS members to participate in the
process at any point
connectivity between portal contributors

Anticipated AC Portal Users

• Atmospheric Science Researchers
• Value-adding organizations
• Organizations that process (aggregate, filter,
  combine or analyze) remote sensing data for
  particular applications and users
• Users can be characterized by their
• Domain Groups Air Quality, Climate,
  Stratospheric Ozone
• Data Needs Real-time, Forecast, Archived
  data
• Information Context Needs
• Processes used, assumptions made in deriving AC
  data products
• Understanding applicability of AC data products
  in their domain
• Availability of data products
• Previous uses of AC data products
