Data Access

### 1. Introduction

The Visibility Improvement State and Tribal Associa tion of the Southeast (VIS TAS) Regional Planning Organization is in the pr ocess of developing a web s ite that will pr ovide links to or directions for receiving all of the final work products from the VI STAS regional haze and vi sibility activities. This web site will be the repository for the various VISTAS reports, an alysis products, SIP documentation, associated presentations, and meteorological, emis sions, and air quality m odeling input and output information.

The VISTAS Final Work Produc ts web site is a link off of the VISTAS main web site ( http://www.vistas-ses arm.org/index.asp)

. At present, the di rect link to the VISTAS Final Work Products is http://www.vistas-sesarm.or g/documents/Fi nalDocs.asp

. This direct link is subject to potential revisions as VIST AS makes cost effective d ecisions for the long-term st orage of and access to these final work products. If the direct link listed above changes in the future, the Fi nal Work Products link off of the VISTAS main web s ite will be appropriately updated.

The raw meteorological, emissions, and air quality m odeling input and output datasets will in many cases surpass any practical file si ze for online storage or downloading. Those interested in these very large datasets are welcome to request this information from Pat Brewer, VISTAS Technical Coordinator, or John Hornback, VI STAS Executive Director, via teleph one, email, or di rect mail. Their contact information is listed below:

Arrangements can then be made to transfer the requested modeling data using the most appropriate method or medium from the VISTAS archives.
