The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses this site to provide information on the many dispersion models supporting regulatory programs required by U.S. law. All of the EPA's dispersion models and their Users' Manuals can be downloaded cost-free from here. An online forum is also provided for discussion/questions/answers on all aspects of the EPA's models.
The modelling and dispersion program is part of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia. Within the program, the Pollution Dispersion team: conducts laboratory and field studies of convective boundary layer growth, turbulence, and dispersion; and develops advanced air dispersion models utilizing ideas from Lagrangian theory studies and from the laboratory and field studies.
The mechanical engineering department of the University of California at Riverside (UCR) has an air quality modeling group performing research in the development and application of small-scale dispersion models, as well as the development of simplified and comprehensive photochemical models.
The Centre for Atmospheric Sciences is a research and consultancy group within the Indian Institute of Technology at Delhi, India that offers atmospheric dispersion modeling.
Describes the dispersion modeling research programs of the Environmental Software and Modeling Group in the Computer Science School at the Polytechnical University in Madrid, Spain. Of interest is the IMW program which is a Visual Basic model based on the U.S. EPA's ISCT3 model that was developed by this group.
The Air Quality Management (AQM) Resource Centre is maintained at the University of the West of England in Bristol, England. It provides much useful information, including brief descriptions of many British and USA air dispersion models.
Atmospheric Dispersion of Chemicals is an e-mail discussion list where people working in the field of atmospheric dispersion modeling can exchange experiences.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Alpine Geophysics, are teamed to support an air quality assessment of the Southern Appalachian Mountains Initiative, an organization formed by Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The TVA and Alpine Geophysics will work with the atmospheric modeling team of the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Alabama, and the University of Virginia.
