NASA SEES Program
Air Quality Inititiative (AQI) Group
Investigating Air Quality using GLOBE Protocols and Aerosols Data.
Mission of the SEES - AQI Group
The purpose of this group is to enable participants to do the following: 1. Learn about the science of Air Quality and Aerosols; 2. Investigate their local environments by collecting data using standardized sampling protocols from the GLOBE Program (www.globe.gov); 3. Map and analyze their data in ArcGIS Online (www.arcgis.com); and 4. Utilize the Purple Air website (www.purpleair.com) to extract Aerosols data and analyze it within the Igor software platform (www.wavemetrics.com). The intent is to provide users a set of tools with which to conduct research projects into the science of Air Quality.
