Methodology

Harvard Dataverse is an open source generalist data repository where we are amassing a collection of commonly-used climate and health data and linkages, including spatial data. Following FAIR principles, we strongly encourage the community of practice to help expand the Climate-Health CAFE Dataverse collection by contributing data for sharing and reuse.

Model

CoST

The Control Strategy Tool (CoST), developed in 2008, is part of EPA's Emissions Modeling Framework (EMF). CoST is used to estimate emissions reductions and engineering costs associated with control strategies applied to point and area sources of air pollutant emissions to support the analyses of air pollution policies and regulations.

NOAA Air Resources Laboratory

The ARL site is a scientific research and modeling portal. Its mission is to improve the Nation’s ability to protect human and ecosystem health by studying the physical and chemical processes occurring from the soil up to about 2–3 miles in the atmosphere. It is the birthplace of the HYSPLIT model, the global standard for tracking the movement of air parcels.

Model

MOVES

EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics, available under EPA's Open Source Software policy.

AQview: Community Air Quality Viewer

Air quality maps, trends viewer, a downloadable tool and lab data. From the website: "AQview is a community-focused air quality data portal bringing together government and community-led air monitoring data to a single platform. Our primary goal is make it easier to access, understand, and use air quality data collected from the wide range of monitoring efforts occurring across California."

SMOKE

SMOKE is primarily an emissions processing system designed to create gridded, speciated, hourly emissions for input into a variety of air quality models such as CMAQ, REMSAD, CAMX and UAM. SMOKE supports area, biogenic, mobile (both onroad and nonroad), and point source emissions processing for criteria, particulate, and toxic pollutants. For biogenic emissions modeling, SMOKE uses the Biogenic Emission Inventory System. SMOKE is also integrated with the on-road emissions model MOVES.
