This two-part webinar series provides an introduction to the basics of air-pollution meteorology and dispersion modeling using the USEPA reference model, AERMOD. Students will learn meteorological concepts as well as the mechanics of running AERMOD and the screening model AERSCREEN. A practical example will be included. Each webinar session will last approximately 1.5 hours (please see agendas for both below).
Presenting both webinars will be Tony Sadar from the Allegheny Health Department. Tony has had 37 years of experience in air-pollution meteorology and science education.
