Introducing the AERMOD Modeling Experts in Phoenix, AZ
At Sullivan Environmental Consulting, we are your AERMOD Modeling Experts in Phoenix, AZ!
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 Phoenix
AERMOD use is extensive in assessing pollution concentration and deposition from various sources in locations worldwide. 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. A high level of expertise leads to model results that accurately reflect reality, which is important if the modeling needs to withstand critical review.
- A high level of expertise distinguishes between indefensible results and what will securely satisfy client needs.
- Individuals running AERMOD should understand the technical underpinnings of the model as they relate to the application at hand.
- In many model applications, there is a difference between defensible and indefensible results.

AERMOD Modeling in Phoenix: Let Our Experts Ensure that Emission Rates Are Sound
Entering sound emission rates requires research specific to the source at hand. Additionally, this requires identifying data reasonably representative of the application at hand. Unquestionably, this process often requires considerable review of guidance documents and peer-reviewed literature. This review identifies emission data that will stand the test of critical review. This is particularly complicated for sources such as wind-blown dust and many other fugitive (non-ducted) sources essential to obtaining quality results.
Sullivan Environmental Consulting is Your CALPUFF Modeling Expert in Phoenix
The same factors discussed above for AERMOD equally apply to the use of the CALPUFF model. Regardless, CALPUFF is not used as extensively at this time as AERMOD. However, in some settings with complex terrain and for large modeling domains greater than 50 km, CALPUFF can be a preferred choice.
For example, our staff relied on the CALPUFF model to model air quality in Jakarta, Indonesia. This model accounts for sea breeze factors. We also relied on CALPUFF to account for wind-blown atmospheric deposition of pesticides. This was useful in large areas of agricultural land involving hundreds of square miles of coverage.
