Wh t i AERMOD?What is AERMOD?
“A steady-state plume model that incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both surface and elevated sources, and both simple and complex terrain.”Support Center for Regulatory Air Models -www.epa.gov/scram001/dispersion_prefrec.htm

sourcessou ces5. Select AQ model, meteorology, roadway configurations,
receptors, background concentrations6 C l l t d i l t NAAQS d6. Calculate design values, compare to NAAQS, and
determine conformity7. Consider mitigation or control measures and repeat

F t f AERMETFeatures of AERMETProcesses one minute and hourly surface observations,
twice-daily upper air soundings, and on-site measurements:
AERMINUTE processes one minute u and AERMINUTE – processes one minute u and AERMET – processes in three stages Stage 1: Extracts/processes data from AERMINUTE, S age ac s/p ocesses da a o U ,
archived data files and performs quality assessment (QA)
Stage 2: Merges all data from Stage 1 and stores these data together in a single file
Stage 3: Reads merged meteorological data and estimates b d l t f b AERMODboundary layer parameters for use by AERMOD
