AERMOD View features powerful 3D visualization tools.  Unlike other software that requires you to purchase yet another software package just so you can view plain, static 3D plots, AERMOD View provides powerful, dynamic 3D tools built right into its interface. Giving you total control, you can zoom in and rotate your site and modeling results in true 3-Dimensional space.  This allows you to view your model from any perspective and further investigate what is influencing your model results!

• Complete 3D Visualization - View your site and surrounding terrain in true 3D! Site buildings and stacks appear in context with your site terrain.
• Seamless 2D to 3D - Apply terrain contours to your 2D site view for professional maps, or change to 3D views with a single click!
• Custom Textures - Apply custom textures to buildings to further increase building realism - say goodbye to bland polygons!
• Multi-layer Visualization - View multiple layers with ease using our powerful 3D engine.  Display your 3D site in conjunction with your 2D data!
• Realistic Views - Clear, realistic communication is a necessity and your model should make an impression.  Real-time lighting effects, true-color shading and textures bring your site to life like no other package can!
• Concentration Contours - Understand the effects of topography by displaying your modeled concentrations with your 3D model!  Make your final report clear and concise by visualizing all your data.

The Multiple Chemicals Run utility will drastically boost your productivity if you have sources emitting multiple pollutants and you wish to model the contributions from each pollutant.

For example, a number of stacks are emitting pollutant made up of Chemical A, Chemical B, and Chemical C. Traditionally, to determine the contribution of each of these components you would run the model once for each component. The problem with the traditional approach is if you are modeling 20 different pollutants, your run time would be equivalent to running the model 20 times.  The Multiple Chemicals Run utility allows you to bypass this step and calculate the contribution from each component quickly and concisely. 

All you need to do is define the pollutants you are modeling, specify which pollutants are being emitted by each source, and click run!  The Multiple Chemical Runs Utility takes care of the rest, reducing your model run time to a fraction of the time it would take traditionally.

Getting your modeling project done on time and in budget requires you to have full-featured tools at your disposal.  That's why the full-featured AERMET View is included with AERMOD View.

Since AERMET View is not a limited version of EPA's AERMET preprocessor you are not forced to purchase expensive met data from a vendor.  You can process raw meteorological data, which is freely available for many sites on the Internet (www.webmet.com).

AERMOD View takes the hassle out of performing modeling runs that require percentiles or rolling averages.

Fully integrated options inside the interface allow you to run the model and have these calculations automatically computed.  

Using Lakes Environmental's optimized routines, the calculations are exceptionally fast resulting in little wait time for your percentiles and/or rolling averages to be completed.

The AERMOD Batcher is designed to let you easily perform multiple modeling runs.  Simply specify the input files for the projects you wish to run, click Run and AERMOD Batcher will run all your projects!

This is ideal for large modeling runs, (i.e., as often required for risk assessments).  Simply set up your batch runs for the night and your modeling is done for your in the morning!
