AERMODAERMODAERMODAERMODModel provide an analytical solution to the
dispersion equations in 3D;
Horizontal and vertical concentration distributions are assumed to follow Gaussian (bell shaped) distribution.
Vertical “complications”: – Terrain following or impacting;– Partial reflection at mixing height.

Measure of “surface roughness”, approximately 1/10 of obstacle physical vertical dimensions, varies, also seasonally (vegetation), from
• 0.0001 m (water surfaces) to • 1 m (cities)• 1.3 m (forests)
Roughness sub-layer: wind speeds deviates from a vertical logarithmic profile.
