FASTNET is a project that brings together real-time and historical aerosol data sets into several web-based consoles to aid in analysis of aerosol events. It synthesizes data from various sources, like monitors, satellites, and models, to provide a broader characterization of events than individual data sets alone. The consoles allow users to browse and analyze data to understand features and potential causes of aerosol episodes. FASTNET is freely accessible online and its products have the potential to provide context to air quality data.
