Objective

By the end of the training, attendees will be able to:

  • Use available Python scripts to read, map, and analyze Level-2 data
  • Modify available scripts for future use
Audience

This training is primarily intended for air quality professionals and decision makers from local, state, and federal agencies, NGOs, and the private sector. Governmental and non-governmental organizations engaged in air quality monitoring will be given preference over organizations focused primarily on research.
