The temporal and spatial location of clouds have a large impact on the projected air quality given a set of emissions. This tool is designed to provide accurate cloud information. Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) used this tool in their latest State Implementation Plans (SIPs) The State of Texas joined NASA Applied Sciences in funding 30% of the Project (~$310K)
IMPROVED AIR QUALITY PLANNING AND REGULATORY DECISIONS
Agreement Index is Increased
