MODELING TIP

Reporting Plant Boundary Results in AERMOD View

Previous Modeling Tips have covered different aspects of identifying plant boundaries in an AERMOD View project. This modeling tip describes plant boundary visualization capabilities and the ability to separate onsite and offsite impacts.


A new feature in AERMOD View now allows users to easily locate modeled results along the boundary line – Plant Boundary Reports. These new reports don’t even require any special updates to your projects (new or existing).


The only requirement is that the project include a Plant Boundary. This can be drawn by hand using the Plant Boundary Tool or imported via the Receptor Pathway | Fenceline inputs.

After the model has been run, access reports via the Reports tool button along the main menu.

You can choose from 2 different report types:

  1. Plant Boundary Summary reports concentrations at all selected receptors along the boundary according to the output options selected.
  2. Plant Boundary Maximum reports only the maximum concentrations from the selected receptors along the boundary.

Both reports can be filtered to display Primary, Intermediate, or all boundary receptors, and the results can be filtered by Source Group as well. Results are presented for any high values identified in the project’s Output Pathway.

Future of Winter: UNH Researchers Find Low Emissions Vital to Slow Warming

February 3, 2022 - Winters are warming faster than summers in North America, impacting everything from ecosystems to the economy. Global climate models indicate that this trend will continue in future winters but there is a level of uncertainty around the magnitude of warming. Researchers at the University of New Hampshire focused on the role of carbon dioxide emissions in this equation—looking at the effects of both high and low levels of carbon dioxide emissions on future climate warming scenarios—and found that a reduction in emissions could preserve almost three weeks of snow cover and below freezing temperatures..

Ocean Eddies Could Explain Antarctic Sea-Ice Paradox

February 2, 2022 - Despite global warming and the sea-ice loss in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea-ice extent has remained largely unchanged since 1979. However, existing climate model-based simulations indicate significant sea-ice loss, contrary to actual observations. As experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute have now shown, the ocean may weaken warming around Antarctica and delay sea-ice retreat. Given that many models are not capable of accurately reflecting this factor and the role of ocean eddies, the study, which was just published in the journal Nature Communications, provides the basis for improved simulations and forecasts of the future development of the Antarctic.
