Hoijarvi, S. Falke, J. Husar, R. Poirot, M. Schulz., K. Torsett, E. Robinson, A, Surijavong, S. Vlasic, W. White GEO AQ CoP Contact: R. Husar, [email protected] GEOSS: EOs for Societal Benefit Info resources created by obs./modeling systems Societal benefits/value is created at user side Goal: Feedback to optimize value Background 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 state The gap is the difference between the current and desired state. Phase I. Determine Earth Observation Requirements for Air Quality SBA Methodology for Gathering User Requirements: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. State the SB Sub-Area: e.g. Manage Air Quality Define Major Workflow Steps of the SBA Name the Value-Adding Activities Identify Participants for Each Activity (i.e. the ‘Users’) Determine the Participant’s EO Needs Forum to Develop AQ Requirements: GEO AQ Community of Practice 1.
