AERMOD interactive scenarios
The interactive scenarios that can be run with the AERMOD model include:
- Basic interactive scenario analysis for all sources (point, area, traffic/lines)
in a domain, 24 houyrly runs;
- The high-resolution convolution model and its
computational kernel
for the
traffic convolution model, 24 hourly results;
The computational kernel
can be used both for individual road segments, or entire domains,
transparently integrated with the point and area source modelling.
- Monitoring stations location (annual runs around a point emission source);
- Single source Impact assessment (annual runs at an hourly basis) for individual point sources;
AERMOD is used together with the AERMET
meteorological pre-processor, and uses a common display page for
detailed model results.
Interactive scenarios, each covering 24 hours, are retrived from a list of named scenarios.
The listing shows the user defined scenario name, the date simulated, and the pollutant;
it also indicates the status of the scenario:
- GREENE: scenario completed, results available for display and analysis;
- RED: model currently running, scenario locked for editing;
- BLUE: scenario has been edited, ready to tun.
In addition to the choice of
The user can set the values for albedo, roughness length, and Bowen ratio.
The two component scenarios that must be defined are:
- Emission scenario (for the current model domain);
- Meteorological scenario, which is defined by the date selected as well as a
meteorological monitoring stations that provides the data for the AERMET
pre-processor.
