Ultraviolet Sensors Technologies Observations)

• High Throughput Discovery Informatics
• Data Retrieved (pollutant) concentration values
  from atmospheric absorption spectra
• Information Real-time variations in
  concentration with (x,y,z,t) - leading to imaging
  and mapping capabilities
• Knowledge Increased scientific understanding of
  pollution. Correlative studies between local
  pollutant levels and related health effects and
  weather records.
• Benefits e.g. re-routing of traffic, closure of
  schools, based on best available knowledge.

• High throughput system Based on DUVAS technology
  (200-270 nm)
• Measures SO2, NO, NO2,O3 Benzene at ppb levels
  simultaneously
• Robust algorithm for pollutant concentration
  retrievals
• Geared for networking of multiple GUSTO units in
  a GRID Infrastructure
• Multisource Remote Sensing data for (contour)
  mapping of pollutants
• Upgrade path to CO, CO2 monitoring and
  correlation with IR add-on

• Data storage using Grid infrastructure
• Globus Toolkit 3 (OGSA and OGSA-DAI)
• Grid Services for data upload and access
• Sensor authentication using GSI (X.509
  certificates)
• Visualisation and data mining using Discovery
  Net
• Cross-correlation with external data sets, eg
  Health, Weather
