Air Quality Modeling Group. The Air Quality Modeling Group (AQMG) is in the U.S. EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) and provides leadership and direction on the full range of air quality models, air pollution dispersion models and other mathematical simulation techniques used in assessing pollution control strategies and the impacts of air ...
Alternative models. ADAM – Air force dispersion assessment model (ADAM) is a modified box and Gaussian dispersion model which incorporates thermodynamics, chemistry, heat transfer, aerosol loading, and dense gas effects. ADMS 5 – Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling System (ADMS 5) is an advanced dispersion model developed in the United Kingdom ...
It was established in 1955 to collaborate with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its predecessor agencies in developing advanced air quality models. The ASMD is currently located in College Park, Maryland (formerly in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina). See also. Accidental release source terms; Air Quality Modeling Group
Pollution. Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration ...
HYSPLIT. The Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT) [1] is a computer model that is used to compute air parcel trajectories to determine how far and in what direction a parcel of air, and subsequently air pollutants, will travel. HYSPLIT is also capable of calculating air pollutant dispersion, chemical ...
The Lagrangian model then calculates the air pollution dispersion by computing the statistics of the trajectories of a large number of the pollution plume parcels. A Lagrangian model uses a moving frame of reference [6] as the parcels move from their initial location. It is said that an observer of a Lagrangian model follows along with the plume.
CALPUFF is an advanced, integrated Lagrangian puff modeling system for the simulation of atmospheric pollution dispersion distributed by the Atmospheric Studies Group at TRC Solutions. [1] It is maintained by the model developers and distributed by TRC. The model has been adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its ...
The Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling Liaison Committee (ADMLC) is composed of representatives from government departments, agencies (predominantly but not exclusively from the UK) and private consultancies. The ADMLC's main aim is to review current understanding of atmospheric dispersion and related phenomena for application primarily in the ...
