ACC PORTAL MISSION STATEMENT


Provide access, tools, and contextual guidance to
scientists and value-adding organizations in using
remotely sensed atmospheric composition data,
information, and services.
The ACC Portal will help to foster interoperability
and application of AC data, information and services
worldwide.
ACC TECH TEAM CHARTER
(tentative)
The ACC Portal Technical Team will:



… help to ensure the efficient leveraging of existing
atmospheric composition data, tools and related resources
for the CEOS ACC Portal.
… help to coordinate near-term capabilities within the ACC
portal thus supporting research and data users in Air
Quality, Climate, and Stratospheric Ozone communities.
… provide an integrated perspective on the needed ACC
technologies, protocols and information technology
standards spanning the participating agencies and other
affiliates.
ACC PORTAL TECH TEAM (TT)
TASKS

Conduct an inventory of existing agency and community tools
pertinent to ACC. This inventory should include:





The overall goal is to identify the well known AC systems and not
to complete a comprehensive overview of all possible tools.
The TT will also identify known users for the tools and systems
noted in the inventory.


Identify key atmospheric tools and services (What is available?)
Analysis of the functional capabilities of these tools (What can they do?)
How can the existing tools best be harmonized taking the multitude of
complex data and system structures into account. (How can they work
together?)
NASA and DLR/WDC-RSAT TT will begin its focus on some
well known tools (Basic Envisat Atmospheric Toolbox,
Giovanni, Data Fed Services, etc.) highlighting how
harmonization and interoperability can be achieved.
Currently the TT is arranging a kick-off meeting/discussion to
review inventory issues. Using a wiki the TT will develop a short
white paper over the next several months revealing key aspects of
this inventory.
