AUSTAL View is a graphical interface designed for the AUSTAL air dispersion model, developed by the German Federal Environmental Agency.
The AUSTAL model was created in compliance with Germany's air pollution control regulation, TA Luft (Technical Instructions on Air Quality).
As a lagrangian particle tracking air dispersion model, AUSTAL incorporates its own diagnostic wind field model, TA Ldia. This allows it to account for the effects of topography on wind patterns, and consequently, on the dispersion of pollutants.
