Meteorological data for atmospheric modeling

Meteorological datasets and analyses

For any location in the world and for any time period, we provide meteorological data for atmospheric dispersion modeling with AERMOD and CALPUFF. We run WRF on our cloud infrastructure at any desired resolution and then process the run output with CALWRF or MMIF and AERMET.

Out products include AERMET-ready files, AERMOD-ready files, CALMET-ready files. We can also provide CALPUFF-ready files by running CALMET at any desired grid resolution in any location, optionally including your local meteorological data.

You can get a quote for our products from our MeteoData web page.

Software for air pollution and meterology

Air pollution modeling and impact assessment

AERMOD, CALPUFF, and more

We are experts in air pollution modeling. In more than 25 years of activity, we have made hundreds of studies worldwide, mainly using the US EPA preferred models AERMOD and CALPUFF.

We can assess the air quality and odor impact of industrial stacks and fugitive emissions, traffic, construction sites, flares, cooling towers, offshore platforms, landfills, waste incinerators, ships, trains, airports.

We help professionals and companies in preparing the technical documentation on modeling for compliance and permitting. Also, we provide scientific support in litigation, on air dispersion modeling and atmospheric-related issues, together with our US partner EnviroComp, Inc.

Models development

We develop computer models for air quality modeling. All our models are referenced by publications on international scientific journals.

LAPMOD

LAPMOD is a tridimensional non-stationary Lagrangian particle dispersion model, coupled with the meteorolgical model CALMET, that can be used to simulate the atmospheric dispersion over complex terrain of gases and aerosols, inert or radioactive. It can also simulate the dispersion of odors. Read more about LAPMOD and download it freely from the LAPMOD web page.

WetPlume

WetPlume is a numerical model for plume water content dispersion and deposition. Typical applications include the evaluation of plume visibility from cooling towers and the assessment of ice formation due to water deposition.

APOLLO2

APOLLO2 is a long-range Lagrangian particle model for radionuclides emitted in the atmosphere that disperse and deposit at ground at regional and continental scale. It is the Italian reference model for assessing the consequences of nuclear accindents. Read more about from the APOLLO2 web page.

Web modeling platforms

Web-based solutions for online simulation

We develop modern web-based platforms with client-server architecture for the online application and evaluation of air quality models. They include AQWEB (ARPAE, Italy), for using from remote the LAPMOD model; ENSEMBLE (European Commission JRC), for the evaluation of air quality models and for early warning in case of nuclear emergenices; ARIES (I.S.P.R.A. Rome), the official Italian system for real-time simulation of nuclear releases in air; TM5-FASST web interface (European Commission JRC) to evaluate how air pollutant emissions affect large-scale concentrations and their impact on human health and crop yields; AMS a platfrom for analysis and forecast of meteorology and atmospheric dispersion of pollutants.
