Synergistic TEMPO Air Quality Science (STAQS)

In June-August 2023, STAQS seeks to integrate TEMPO satellite observations with traditional air quality monitoring to improve understanding of air quality science and increase societal benefit.

Study philosophy:
- Build an integrated observing system consisting of ground-, airborne-, and satellite-based platforms and air quality models.
- Prioritize repeated systematic sampling in a predefined domain during morning, midday, and afternoon times over at least 4 days in each primary target areas.
- Assemble a collaborative research team through leveraging multiple activities occurring in summer 2023 with federal and academic partners.
