Status Report on CATT and FASTNET R. Poirot, VT DEC & R. Husar, CAPITA, 9/29/04
CATT: Combined Aerosol Trajectory Tools
FASTNET: Fast Aerosol Sensing Tools for Natural Event Tracking
Both are Inter-RPO Projects, Conducted by CAPITA
Managed for MANE-VU by:
MARAMA (Serpil Kayin, CATT) & NESCAUM (Gary Kleiman, FASTNET)
Status: CATT & FASTNET have been Eaten by DataFed.Net
Within DATAFED.NET, CATT & FASTNET
are 2 of many
“Projects”
which Share Many Common
“Datasets”
which are Archived & Accessible & can be Viewed, Compared,
Exported, Analyzed & Interpreted, using a
variety of Web-Based
“Applications”
Data Catalog(s) Provide Access to Many: Fast (rapidly available), Current (near-real-time, recently archived & continuing) and Slow (historical data Like IMPROVE Aerosol & ATAD trajectories)
Data Catalogs: Aerosol, Fire, Maps, Meteorology, Emissions, Images, Events
Data Viewer:
Open & View Any File in Catalog(s).
Many Files Include Time
Series, Linked to Map –
Point & Click.
Zoom Map or Time series, Change Size,
Symbols, Variables,
Add Layers, Export Data – Copy Paste.
Data Files Accessed & Archived Specifically for FASTNET. Note Varying Start dates (1988-2004), with Most Continuing.
VIEWS_CHEM (IMPROVE Aerosol) and ATAD Trajectories (NPS) are currently used in CATT Applications

Acadia SO4 > 15
ug/m3
1. Start with Kitty to Explore Any Combinations of IMPROVE & ATAD Traj. Data (any/all sites & years).
2. Export CSV file of Selected Data & Copy/Paste into CSV Table Editor and Save for Subsequent Analysis.
1. Change Traj Sort.
2. Plot in Kitty
2. Export file as CSV data.
3. Copy/Paste into File Editor,Save.
4. Open YourFile in TrajAggGrid…
Save(d) as: ALLpost99OCge10.csv
Select All Sites and Dates after 1/1/99 if :
Organic Carbon >= 10 ug/m3.
Fires in the West & Southeast (but not much in MANE-VU)
Save CSV file & open in Trajectory
Aggregator/Gridder,
Weight Traj. by OC Concentration (or not), Normalize (or
not) & Plot.
Fine Soil >7.5, post-1999, All Sites & All Months
Fine Soil > 7.5, All Years, All Sites, July-Only
Western & Asian Dust (Primarily Spring)
Eastern Sahara Dust (Primarily Summer)
All US sites, dv >=30
All US sites, SO4 >=15
Areas upwind of all sites for Highest dv = Highest SO4
1. From Kitty, http://webapps.datafed.net/dvoy_services/datafed.aspx?view=Kitty2. select All Locations & YourSpecies >= X (using “Q” button)3. Export CSV Data (“D” button) & Copy/Paste into CSV File Editor & Submitter:

Kitty “How To”, for Review
CATT Future:
• Add Additional Ensemble Trajectory Metrics
• “Automatically” update as new Traj & Aerosol data are available (Kristi Gebhart has just updated ATADs for most recent IMPROVE)
• Add Additional Aerosol (STN) & Trajectory Data (Kristi is Willing to Crank ATADs for Entire STN Network – triple site density)!!
• Continued Support from MANE-VU, other RPOs(?) & other DataFed.Net Partners (NSF, NASA, EPA, etc.).
