Atmospheric dispersion models require
meteorological data (i.e., winds, air temperature, atmospheric stability,
mixed layer heights, etc.) to transport and disperse pollutants. AQMD staff
has developed meteorological data for the U.S. EPA’s dispersion models
ISCST3 and AERMOD, which can be found using the following links:
·
ISCST3-ready meteorological data
·
AERMOD-ready meteorological data
