WRPLOT View - Defining Custom Sectors
A wind rose depicts the wind frequency in specified wind direction sectors and wind speed classes for a given location and time. Over the years, thousands of people in need of wind roses have turned to Lakes Environmental’s freeware application, WRPLOT View. Beginning with WRPLOT View Version 8.0, users now have the ability to define custom wind direction sectors. By changing the sector arcs and starting angles, users can analyze a wide variety of wind statistics.

CALRoads View - Importing & Exporting Traffic Data
The CALINE series of models was developed to estimate pollutant concentrations from motor vehicles at roadway intersections. It includes three primary models: CALINE, CAL3QHC, and CAL3QHCR. The latter allows processing of real meteorological data (up to one year) and input of vehicular emissions, traffic volume, and signalization (ETS) data. Data reflecting traffic conditions for individual hours of a week can be input into CAL3QHCR.

Importing Base Maps into Lakes Software Applications
High quality base maps can be important to any air dispersion modeling project. These maps provide locational context to project data and improve the overall display of modeled results. Lakes Environmental Software applications – including AERMOD View, CALPUFF View, CALRoads View, and AUSTAL View – contain multiple ways to bring imagery into a project.
