At Sullivan Environmental Consulting, we are your AERMOD Modeling Experts in New York NY!

AERMOD is an air pollutant dispersion model developed by the American Meteorological Society (AMS) / Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) for regulatory purposes. AERMOD is widely accepted as the preferred air quality model for most applications.

Sullivan Environmental is Your Top Choice for AERMOD Modeling in New York

AERMOD is used extensively to assess pollution concentration and deposition from a wide variety of sources in locations all over the world. Due to the following, it is crucial to rely on AERMOD experts when using the model:

• It is easy to input data and obtain model output, though a high level of expertise is needed to obtain model results that accurately reflect reality and will stand up to critical review.
• A high level of expertise can also make the difference between indefensible results and those that will securely satisfy client needs.
• Individuals running AERMOD should understand the technical underpinnings of the model as they relate to the application at hand. It should not be viewed as a “black box.”
• In many model applications the difference between defensible and indefensible results is in the quality, or lack thereof, of the emission rate data entered into the model.

AERMOD Modeling in New York: Let Our Experts Ensure that Emission Rates are Sound

 

Entering sound emission rates requires research specific to the source at hand and identifying data that are reasonably representative of the application at hand. This process often requires considerable review of guidance documents and the peer-reviewed literature to identify emission data that will stand the test of critical review. This can be particularly complicated for sources such as wind-

blown dust and many other fugitive (non-ducted) sources that often can be essential to obtaining quality results.

Sullivan Environmental Consulting is Your CALPUFF Modeling Expert in New York

The same factors discussed above for AERMOD equally apply to the use of the

CALPUFF model. Although not used as extensively at this time as AERMOD, in some settings with complex terrain and also for large modeling domains greater than 50 km, CALPUFF can be a preferred choice.

For example, our staff relied on the use of the CALPUFF model when

modeling air quality in Jakarta, Indonesia in order to account for sea breeze factors. We also relied on CALPUFF to account for wind-blown atmospheric deposition of pesticides throughout large areas of agricultural land involving hundreds of square miles of coverage.
