SDTS to DEM Format Conversion Program (ZIP) (209 KB, 12-22-2005)ĪERPLOT is a tool that converts the AERMOD.PLT ( AERMOD plot file) output to a. XYZ Elevation Data Preparation and Entry Procedure (ZIP) (1.6 MB, 11-16-2000) - This file contains the user's guide, test case and a readme file.

Users can email questions, comments, suggestions, or improvements to Documentation Beta users should send comments and any issues they find to Jay McAlpine of EPA's Region 10 Office. Any proposed regulatory use of AERCOARE in providing inputs to dispersion models must be done in accordance with Appendix W and approved by the appropriate reviewing authority on a case-by-case basis. These draft programs support non-regulatory use and evaluation of dispersion models by the modeling community. AERCOARE replaces the need for post-processing with a spreadsheet, provides support for missing data, adds options for the treatment of overwater mixing heights, and can consider many different input data formats.ĮPA is providing “beta” releases of various programs to facilitate the processing and evaluation of inputs and outputs for dispersion models. In that application, the COARE algorithm was applied to overwater measurements and the results assembled in a spreadsheet. Please reference the 2011 Model Clearinghouse formal action, record number 11-X-01. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 as an alternative model to OCD for application in an Arctic ice-free environment with concurrence from the EPA Model Clearinghouse. The output from AERCOARE is used by the AERMOD dispersion program in a marine environment.Īn AERMOD-COARE approach was recently approved by the U.S.

AERCOARE can read overwater measured hourly meteorological data or predicted hourly meteorological data from the Mesoscale Model Interface (MMIF) program.

The Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) air-sea flux procedure was coded into a meteorological data preprocessor program called AERCOARE. Related Programs Supporting Air Quality Modeling The programs and utilities listed here are used in support of some of the preferred/recommended, alternative, and screening models and include AERCOARE, AERMAP, AERPLOT, AERSURFACE, BPIP, BPIPPRM, BPIPPRM-Draft, CALMET2NCF, CALMPRO, CHAVG, CONCOR, EMS-HAP, MMIF, and MMIFstat.
