Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of this abstract is to propose a poster to present at the EPA Air Sensors 2014 workshop. THe topic is the Real-Time Geospatial Data Viewer (RETIGO) program, an EPA project executed through the EPA Environmental Modeling and Visualization Laboratory.
Description:
EPA’s Real-Time Geospatial (RETIGO) Data Viewer web-based tool is a new program reducing the technical barrier to visualize and understand geospatial air data time series collected using wearable, bicycle-mounted, or vehicle-mounted air sensors. The RETIGO tool, with anticipated public availability in the fall of 2014, provides the user the ability to upload multipollutant time series data and explore the data over time and space. The program provides ease of data import and gives the user several options to reduce large datasets (i.e., >1000 rows) for easier viewing. In addition to overlaying the data on a map and as a time series, RETIGO also allows the user to draw a hypothesized point or line source location and computes air concentration versus distance to the source. The web interface allows the user to select a portion of the geospatial data by drawing a boundary box, allowing a portion of the time series or a specific area of interest to be isolated. The user may also opt for RETIGO to import and display ancillary data, including ozone and PM2.5 readings (via AirNow) as well as summarizing the nearest available meteorology data (via World Meteorological Organization) corresponding to the sampled data timeframe. Finally, RETIGO will provide ease of compatibility with EPA’s community-focused exposure and risk screening tool (C-FERST), with a custom output option allowing follow-on exploration of the local environment with C-FERST.
