AERMOD Version 04300 with PRIME User Manual

About this manual

This document is a brief user manual for the AERMOD atmospheric dispersion modeling system, developed by the AERMIC committee under the US EPA. It is based on AERMOD Version 04300 with PRIME and provides instructions in Chinese for environmental protection staff and researchers. The manual explains the system's workflow, which includes the AERMOD dispersion model, the AERMET meteorological preprocessor, and the AERMAP terrain preprocessor. This manual is written in Chinese.

Frequently asked questions

What is the primary purpose of the AERMOD system?

The system is designed to simulate and predict atmospheric dispersion for various emission sources in different environments.

When must the building downwash effect be considered?

The effect must be considered when a chimney's geometric height is less than 2.5 times the building height.
