REMOVING PLANT RECEPTORS

Many regulations do not require concentrations inside the plant property to be reported. For this reason it is often desirable to remove any receptors located within the plant boundary when modeling with the US EPA AERMOD model. AERMOD View offers a convenient plant boundary tool to complete this task in three simple steps.

  • AERMOD View - AERSURFACE 20060 in AERMET View

    AERSURFACE is a tool developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) which uses digital land cover data to objectively calculate numeric values of surface characteristics (i.e. albedo, Bowen ratio, and surface roughness) required by AERMET, the meteorological preprocessor for the AERMOD air dispersion model.

  • AERMOD View - Using the New AERSURFACE Utility

    AERSURFACE is a tool developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) which uses digital land cover data to objectively calculate numeric values of surface characteristics (i.e. albedo, Bowen ratio, and surface roughness) required by AERMET, the meteorological preprocessor for the AERMOD air dispersion model.

  • AERMOD View - Import Sources from Excel

    There are a number of ways to add source data to your AERMOD View project. This video shows you how to import sources using an Excel spreadsheet template.

  • CALPUFF View - Using the Background Data File Maker Utility

    When using CALPUFF, modelers can add hourly background concentration or deposition flux values to the modeled results before averages are processed in CALPOST. Lakes Environmental added a Background Data File Maker utility to CALPUFF View to make this process even easier.

  • AERMOD View - Creating Projects from MMIF Output

    Following up on Lakes’ November webinar, you can purchase global AERMET-ready met data online from the WRF or MM5 meteorological models. Lakes utilizes the Mesoscale Model Interface Program (MMIF) to format prognostic meteorological model output for use in air quality models.
