Resource

Aggregates emission and air quality data from agencies like the EPA, NOAA, and NASA.

Resource

Provide air quality data and insights that help people reduce their exposure to pollution.

Resource

Emissions inventories for multiple source sectors collected from state air quality agencies by the Environmental Integrity Project. Inventories are available for multiple years which differ across states. Links are also provided to state inventory websites.

Resource

VERDI is a Java program for visualizing meteorology, emissions, and air quality modeling data. With options for overlaying GIS Shapefiles and observational data onto model output, VERDI offers a range of options for viewing atmospheric modeling data. VERDI scripting provides a powerful interface for automating the production of graphics for analyzing your data.
