1 Welcome to the 8 th Semiannual Meeting of the NASA Air Quality Applied Sciences Team! Georgia Tech, December 2-4, Meeting goals: 1. To educate AQ managers about Earth Science resources, and educate Earth scientists about AQ management needs; 2. To direct AQAST activities to address AQ management needs.

2 A quick overview of the agenda Day 1: Tuesday December 2 (9am 7 pm) - AQAST overview - AQAST project presentations - AQ managers session: Southeast perspective - Poster session and reception Day 2: Wednesday December 3 (9am 5 pm) - Education, outreach, tools - AQ managers session: national perspective Group photo before lunch break - AQAST and satellite project presentations Day 3: Thursday, December 4 (9am noon) - Tiger Team breakouts - AQAST action items from managers sessions

5 What makes AQAST unique? All AQAST projects connect Earth Science and air quality management Involve active partnerships with air quality managers, have deliverable application outcomes Expand relationships through meetings, online tools, newsletters, surveys AQAST has flexibility in how it allocates its resources Members adjust work plans to meet evolving air quality needs Multi-member Tiger Teams are organized each year in consultation with air quality management community to address pressing problems requiring coordinated activity AQAST is self-organizing and can respond quickly to demands Quick, collaborative, flexible, responsive to the needs of the AQ community 5
