Within DATAFED.NET, FASTNET is one of many
“Projects”
which Share Many Common
“Datasets”
which are Archived & Accessible & can be Viewed, Compared,
Exported, Analyzed & Interpreted, using a
variety of Web-Based
“Applications”

Feb 19 2004: Texas Dust & Midwest Nitrate• Isolated high PM25 occurs over the Midwest, Northeast and Texas• Aerosol patches are evident in AIRNOW PM25, ASOS & Fbext maps• The high surface wind speed over Texas, hints on possible dust storm activity
• The NAAPS model shows high sulfate over the Great Lakes, but no biomass smoke
• Possible causes: nitrate in the Upper Midwest, sulfate around the Great Lakes, dust over Texas

Satellite detects fires in the Southeast
But PM2.5 values are small
21
The NAAPS model suggests the high PM2.5 in the Northeast is due to sulfate

Users can customize views by layering the many available data sets
These custom views can be incorporated into their own websites
