CALPUFF View: Run CALMET in Parallel

One limitation of the CALPUFF air dispersion model is that it can only be executed on a single processor (i.e., serially). Previous modeling tips have discussed ways around this limitation. For example, executing CALPUFF with a single source will run faster than attempting to model multiple sources at a time. Modelers can then employ CALSUM to assess cumulative impacts. This approach has the added benefit of providing a way to assess individual source contributions.

CALPUFF & CALPUFF View: What’s the Difference?

Lakes Software recently announced its acquisition of the CALPUFF modeling system from Exponent. Because Lakes’ CALPUFF View interface is well known throughout the modeling community, some modelers were not aware of the differences between this application and the stand-alone modeling system. This tip will explain the relationship between the modeling system and the CALPUFF View interface.

Customizing the Main Display

Lakes Software’s commercial applications all feature a similar look and feel. This familiarity allows users to easily execute a variety of air dispersion models even when accessing a brand-new product for the first time. The image below uses AERMOD View to demonstrate the key components of each Lakes Software application.

CALPUFF View: Calculating Percentiles

We previously discussed a fundamental limitation of the CALPUFF modeling system which places finite limits on how many objects and calculations the various system executables can handle in a single project.

CALPUFF View: New Ranked Values Grid View

Last month’s tip discussed the new Top-50 Table Viewer, one of the new additions to CALPUFF View Version 10.0 which aids modelers in visualizing output from the CALPOST postprocessor. Another addition to this release of CALPUFF View is the Ranked Values Grid View.
