CE H8400 Ambient Air Quality Modeling

Air pollutants, their sources, and their properties that dictate how they can be modeled. Atmospheric diffusion equation, and key mechanisms for pollutant transport and transformation, including radiation, gas and aqueous phase chemical reactions, convection, dispersion, and wet and dry deposition. Mathematical derivation and computer modeling of the transport and transformation of pollutants using specific receptor (CMB, PMF, HYSPLIT), dispersion (AERMOD, CALQ3HC) and transport (CMAQ, UAM/CAMx) models.
