An extensive directory (March 1999 issue) of atmospheric dispersion models produced by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorology (OFCM), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Developed by the United Kingdom's Meteorological Office, the NAME model is part of the contingency plans in the event of accidental releases of radioactivity into the atmosphere: to provide early warning for the guidance of emergency services; and to predict concentrations, depositions and dosages of radionuclides as input to impact assessments.
Reviews and guide (provided by the University of New South Wales in Australia) to regulatory air dispersion models used in Australia for odour dispersion modelling and impact assessment.
ADMLC's main aim is to review current understanding of atmospheric dispersion for application in authorization or licensing of discharges to the atmosphere from industrial, commercial or other sites. ADMLC is concerned with long-term controlled releases as well as short-term releases, and at all scales, including on-site and within buildings.
A comprehensive list of literature references on Lagrangian air dispersion modeling, compiled by Dr. Marek Uliasz.
The George Mason University in Virginia has a research program called CAMP (Comprehensive Atmospheric Modeling Program). The focus of the program, funded by the U.S. Defense Department, is on atmospheric transport and dispersion of releases of nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. A wide range of available air dispersion models will be acquired and evaluated.
A report published in 1995, "Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling Resources", can be downloaded from this site. It includes descriptions, contact people, and other details about 94 dispersion models. The report was developed by the: Subcommittee on Consequence Assessment and Protective Action (SCAPA), of the Emergency Management Advisory Committee, of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Provides directories by state and by speciality of the Certified Consulting Meteorologist members of the American Meteorological Society, many of whom specialize in air pollution dispersion modeling analyses and studies.
This section of the Environmental-Expert.com site has a searchable index of feature articles concerning air pollution, including feature articles on dispersion modeling.
Omni is a demonstrator site for disseminating modeled and monitored air pollution data in an accessable form. Details of methodology are included. The data covers the London, England area.
