AERMOD View


Gaussian Plume Air Dispersion Model

Using a Different AERMOD Interface?

Switch to AERMOD View and Save

AERMOD View is a complete and powerful air dispersion modeling package which seamlessly incorporates the U.S. EPA’s preferred regulatory air dispersion model into a robust, easy-to-use interface.

The AMS/EPA Regulatory Model (AERMOD) is the state-of-the-science, steady-state Gaussian air dispersion model based on planetary boundary layer theory. AERMOD fully incorporates the PRIME building downwash algorithms, advanced depositional parameters, local terrain and urban heat island effects, and advanced meteorological turbulence calculations.

AERMOD is used extensively to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources in locations all over the world.

WHY PAY FOR ADD-ONS THAT SHOULD BE STANDARD?

We have an extensive list of standard features included with AERMOD View, a list that no other software package comes close to having or only as add-ons that cost you more. For example:

  • AERMOD Parallel for up to 8 processors
  • Complete AERMET and PCRAMMET meteorological data preprocessing utilities
  • Multiple pollutant utilities for modeling multiple pollutants in a single project

All of these features are always included at no additional cost.

Features

Key Features

Integrated Graphical User Interface

Fully integrated GIS-based interface combining easy-to-use graphical tools for drawing sources, buildings, and receptors; seamless model run execution; and automated contouring and posting of results.

Lakes Tile Maps

Automatically download and import high-resolution satellite and street map imagery into your projects. This makes it easy to graphically input model objects like sources, buildings, and receptors, and provides a great spatial reference point for analyzing model results.

Powerful 3D Visualization

Complete 3D visualization of your entire modeling area. Sources, buildings, and concentration and/or deposition contour results are displayed in context with the surrounding terrain.

Export to Google Earth

This exciting feature allows you to export your buildings, sources, receptors and contours into Google Earth giving you a more realistic image of where your pollutants will impact surrounding areas.

Terrain processor with Auto Downloads

Advanced terrain processing capabilities are offered for several terrain data file formats such as NED, SRTM, and USGS DEM. Automated download of terrain data files from WebGIS. SRTM1 Terrain data at 30 m resolution available worldwide.

New Project Wizard

Quickly and easily set up a new project in AERMOD View by specifying a reference point in Latitude/Longitude, UTM, or any other local coordinate system.

Multi-Chemical Utility

Boost your productivity drastically by specifying emissions from several pollutants emitted by the same source. No need to setup different projects for each pollutant!

ISC Models Included

Lakes Environmental also seamlessly incorporates the Industrial Source Complex (ISC) air dispersion models 2013 ISCTST3 and ISC-PRIME into AERMOD View.

AERMOD Parallel at No Additional Cost

AERMOD MPI, Lakes Environmental parallel version of AERMOD, will significantly cut down on model run times, while still giving the high quality results you expect from AERMOD View.

Meteorological Preprocessors

Several tools are available for easy processing of meteorological data for AERMOD & ISC models, including AERMET, AERSURFACE, AERMINUTE, & PCRAMMET

Professional Printing Templates

Take advantage of the ready-to-use printout template. You can include your company logo, project number, and other project specific information.
