Air Dispersion/Air Quality

AERMOD View is a complete and powerful air dispersion modeling packagewhich seamlessly incorporates the popular U.S. EPA models into one interface:AERMOD, ISCST3, and ISC-PRIME. These models are used extensively to assesspollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources.

AERMOD is the next generation air dispersion model designed for short-range (up to 50 kilometers) dispersion of air pollutant emissions from stationary industrial sources.. AERMOD is a steady-state plume model that incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling, including treatment of both surface and elevated sources, and both simple and complex terrain

The Industrial Source Complex - Short Term regulatory air dispersion model (ISCST3) is a Gaussian plume model and is widely used to assess pollution concentration and/or deposition flux on receptors from a wide variety of sources.

The Industrial Source Complex - Plume RIse Model Enhancements (ISC-PRIME) dispersion model is similar to the ISCST3 model but contains enhanced building downwash analysis.
