This website is maintained by EPA's Air
Quality Modeling Group (AQMG). The AQMG conducts modeling analyses to
support policy and regulatory decisions in the Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR) and provides leadership and direction on the full range
of air quality models and other mathematical simulation techniques used
in assessing control strategies and source impacts. Documentation and guidance for these air quality models
can be found on this website,
including downloadable computer code, input data, and model processors. Air Quality Models
- Provides descriptions and documentation for three types
of air quality models: dispersion, photochemical, and receptor models. Also provided with
the dispersion modeling section are source code and associated user's guides
and documentation for
preferred/recommended models, screening models, and alternative models. Modeling Guidance & Support - Provides current guidance for applying air quality models for regulatory applications for both State Implementation Plans (SIP) demonstrations and revisions, as well as permit applications for new source reviews including Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations. Included is the Model Clearinghouse which is designed to help record the interpretation of modeling guidance for specific regulatory applications. Also included in this area are links to modeling contacts within the EPA Regional Offices and State environmental agencies. Meteorological Data & Processors - Provides information on Meteorological data used in air quality models as derived from both ambient measurements and meteorological models. Processors based on these two main sources of meteorological data are also provided.
Conferences
& Workshops - Provides announcements and
related information for upcoming meetings, conferences, and workshops including agendas, review materials, and links. Related Links --- Provides website links of interest to air quality modelers and policy analysts. About AQMG - Provides a link to the group's website with background information, principle roles/responsibilities, staff names and contact information. Employment Opportunities: AQMG currently has no open positions to fill. As
positions become open, AQMG will update this website with details. In addition, job announcements
can be found on the internet at the Office of Personnel Management website,
HERE. The
easiest way to find the
announcement is to look for openings located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
