AERSCREEN View: Modeling Fumigation
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.

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.

AERMOD View: Counting Concentration Exceedances
When conducting an air dispersion modeling analysis, modelers may want to know not just what the value of the maximum concentration is but also how frequently concentrations exceed some upper limit or threshold. The U.S. EPA AERMOD air dispersion model comes with an option to extract these exceedances: the Threshold Violation File or MAXIFILE. Lakes Software’s AERMOD View application goes a step further and automatically counts those exceedances so that modelers can easily determine the frequency of such violations.

AERMOD View: Import Elevations from AERMAP
AERMAP is the terrain preprocessor for the AERMOD modeling system and provides data to AERMOD necessary for dispersion calculations in complex terrain. AERMAP reads digital terrain files, interpolates elevations for most model objects, and calculates hill-height scaling factor for receptors in an air dispersion study conducted using AERMOD.
