| AERMAP - Version 09040 AERMAP is a terrain preprocessor for AERMOD. AERMAP processes commercially available Digital Elevation Data and creates a file suitable for use within an AERMOD control file. This file would contain elevation and hill-height scaling factors for each receptor in the air dispersion study.

| BPIP Building Profile Input Program (BPIP) is a PC-based program designed to incorporate the concepts and procedures expressed in the Good Engineering Practice (GEP) technical support document, building downwash guidance, and other related references that correctly calculate building heights (bh) and projected building widths (pbw) for simple, multi-tiered, and groups of structures. This program is often used with the ISC3 model. This most recent version of BPIP, 4/21/04, has been upgraded with allocatable arrays while maintaining the basic functionality of the program.

| BPIPPRM Building Profile Input Program for PRIME (BPIPPRM) is the same as BPIP but includes an algorithm for calculating downwash values for input into the PRIME algorithm which is contained in such models as AERMOD. The input structure of BPIPPRM is the same as that of BPIP and is often used with the ISC3 model. For more information, see the BPIP User's Guides.
