STI GIS specialists develop interactive mapping applications for displaying and disseminating geographic data and maps. Internet-based mapping applications allow access to geographic and tabular data as well as the capability to perform spatial queries and analyses via the Internet. STI staff also develop and maintain real-time data acquisition systems that allow the display of real-time data via the Internet.
STI developed an Internet-based application for viewing and downloading air quality data from the California Air Resources Board's Air Quality and Meteorological Information System (AQMIS) database. The AQMIS application provides users with interactive mapping capabilities and displays near real-time ozone, particulate matter, and meteorological data for monitoring sites throughout California. Visit AQMIS at http://www.arb.ca.gov/aqd/aqinfo.htm.
The U.S. EPA's AIRNow program is a real-time system that collects nationwide ozone and particulate matter data and air quality forecasts and communicates them to the public. Read more about this project.
STI developed the CRPAQS On-line Atlas of Regional and Site Specific Events (COARSE). The atlas contains micro-scale emissions activity data for select locations in the San Joaquin Valley. Read more about this project.
