AQAST Newsletter, July 2013
Welcome to the January 2013 Newsletter of the NASA Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (AQAST). AQAST is a team of atmospheric scientists serving air quality management needs through creative use of Earth Science data and tools. We conduct a wide range of projects in partnership with air quality agencies at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
This newsletter keeps you up to date on AQAST activities. The AQAST website has more comprehensive information. Also follow us on Twitter at @NASA_AQAST. To inquire about specific projects or request assistance please contact any AQAST member, team leader Daniel Jacob, or team deputy leader Tracey Holloway.

AQAST Semiannual Meetings
AQAST meetings are held on a semiannual schedule and bring together team members, air quality managers, and research and applications partners.
5th AQAST Meeting (AQAST5): Jue 4-6, 2013 at the University of Maryland at College Park
AQAST5 was held on June 4-6, 2013 at the University of Maryland at College Park. Our hosts were AQAST members Russ Dickerson and Bryan Duncan, together with Ana Prados who leads the NASA NASA Applied Remote SEnsing Training (ARSET). The meeting attracted over 130 attendees including air quality managers from a number of state, regional, and national agencies. Click here for the meeting program and links to the presentations.
6th AQAST Meeting (AQAST6): January 15-17, 2014 at the University of Texas at Austin
The next AQAST meeting (AQAST6) will be held January 15-17 (Wednesday-Friday) at the University of Texas at Austin. Our hosts will be Prof. David Allen from U. Texas Austin and AQAST member Dan Cohan. Mark your calendars!
AQAST Project Highlights
AQAST supports Wyoming exceptional event demonstration
AQAST member Brad Pierce provided aircraft, satellite, and modeling data to assist the state of Wyoming in an exceptional event demonstration related to a NAAQS ozone exceedance at Thunder Basin on June 5, 2012. Click here for more details
Saint Louis ozone garden gears up for its second year
AQAST member Jack Fishman is using ozone gardens to educate the public on the harm to vegetation from surface ozone. Click here to learn more. A second ozone garden was also recently started by the AQAST group at Harvard.
