Air: August 13

Goal for day 2: Complete hands on section and narrative; allow group to discuss citizen science

Location: H114, back

Session 1: 9:30 – 10:45

• Discuss ground observation; decide what can reasonably be done
• Discuss data sharing; provide suggestions for what data could be shared and how
• Discuss links to satellite analysis
• Define the narrative for the chapter, "why citizen science"

Case study:
Specific event with photos; urban pollution
California fires? then urban pollution
use EO NH and smog blog as practice to match satellite aod, true color, and ground photos
June 21, 2005 - good example of poor air quality (on EO)
shows in data on airnow.gov

EO story (why citizen science):
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/Partnerships/

Pull in all of the pieces of the procedure.

Involve scientists, how? Involve state environmental quality offices? Talk to Forrest Mims or David Brooks for other ideas.

Session 2: 11:15 – 12:30

• Discuss data sharing; provide suggestions for what data could be shared and how; define exactly what measurements a citizen would have to make to produce meaningful data.
• List supplies needed for ground activity and where to find them

12:30 – 1:30 Lunch

Session 3: 2:00 – 3:45

• Write procedure
• Identify related reading and background material
