Land acknowledgement Fairbanks, Alaska exists on the lands of the Tanana Athabascan people. The interests of the vibrant Indigenous community in Fairbanks and the surrounding areas are represented by the Doyon, Limited regional corporation and the Tanana Chiefs Conference. The relations between Indigenous people and US state and federal government in the region have always involved issues of environmental justice, especially regarding gold mining and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Northern Alabama is situated upon the traditional homelands of the Creek, Cherokee, and Chickasaw tribal nations. Environmental justice issues impacted the Indigenous people as a rush to settle and build infrastructure in the region quickly forced them off their ancestral lands. Indigenous people are still connected to this land today which they stewarded throughout generations.
Indigenous rights are central to environmental justice!<br>

Today’s meeting General guidelines:
We request that you mute your phone notifications and close your other work while participating in the workshop
Please be respectful of all participants!
This meeting is being recorded. Why are we requesting your full participation?
We want your time to be valuable: This workshop is fast-paced so it can be as short as possible
All material should be of interest to the whole audience<br>
05
Objectives for today Raise awareness about MAIA/TEMPO to you, environmental justice (EJ) advocacy groups, and provide background information on the missions
Improve understanding of the TEMPO and MAIA project teams about the EJ user community’s needs: Do you need certain data formats/compatibility/tools? What capacity building resources do you need and desire?
Participate in collaborative brainstorming regarding how MAIA/TEMPO data might be useful to EJ Not from an EJ group? We’re so glad you’re interested in EJ too! Please allow representatives from EJ groups to speak and ask questions first, since this is an EJ focus session.<br>
06

What will TEMPO offer you? TEMPO will observe key air pollutants every daylight hour at high spatial resolution (~2 x 4.8 km2) over Greater North America
Trace gas products will include U.S. EPA “criteria” pollutants of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3), along with formaldehyde (HCHO) and glyoxal (CHOCHO), major proxies for air pollution
Aerosol products, including aerosol layer height, aerosol optical depth, and aerosol absorption index, will add value to currently available aerosol data
New knowledge for understanding and tackling air pollution issues from sub-urban to continental scales
User-friendly interfaces and tools for downloading, processing, and visualizing TEMPO data, which will be free and publicly available to everyone<br>
10
TEMPO Early Adopters Program Goal: Prepare broader community for using TEMPO data in their applications and decisions Early Adopters are individuals or groups who meet any of the following criteria:
Have an interest or need for using TEMPO data
Have an existing or new application for TEMPO data
Work with end-users & understand their decision-making process Why might you have an interest in becoming an Early Adopter?
Provide your feedback on products, applications, tools, etc.
Contribute to the living TEMPO Green Paper and special experiments
Receive access to pre-launch TEMPO proxy products
Collaborate with the Early Adopter community and science team https://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/tempo/green_paper.html Latest version of TEMPO Green Paper Vegetation & Ocean Monitoring Air Pollution Emissions & Monitoring Regulatory Science Public Health Weather Analysis & Forecasting Air Quality Modeling & Forecasting TEMPO Application Focus Areas<br>
11
MAIA: Why might it interest you? MAIA will provide 1 km resolution, daily concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and sulfate, nitrate, elemental carbon, organic carbon, and dust PM2.5 in 11+ target regions around the globe (3 in the US)
MAIA will also produce studies of the health effects of PM in these regions
The MAIA team is committed to making the data easy to use and accessible to everyone
MAIA is what NASA calls a pathfinder: it establishes the need for future missions and demonstrates how to accomplish them<br>
12
MAIA Early Adopters Program Who is an Early Adopter?
You! (We hope)
Someone interested in using MAIA data
Has a particular use in mind (eventually)
Why be an Early Adopter?
Chance to offer feedback pre-launch
Get access to test data products
Collaborate with the science team and receive any needed assistance to entrain data products<br>
