Cursos de AERMOD y CALPUFF (en inglés)
AERMOD Training (Air Dispersion Modeling Workshop)
15 y 16 de marzo de 2010
Addlink y Lakes Environmental ofrecen por tercera vez en España dos cursos sobre los simuladores de Modelado de Dispersión en el Aire (ADM) más utilizados: AERMOD y CALPUFF. El Curso de AERMOD será eminentemente práctico si bien se presentará una base teórica sobre la Física de ADM que se complementará con estudio del pretratamiento de las bases de datos meteorológicas, las consideraciones geográficas y el estudio de fenómenos como Building Downwash y las validaciones del modelo. En el curso de CALPUFF además de una familiarización con la normativa, se ofrecerán conocimientos técnicos relacionados y especialidades del modelo como las turbulencias atmosféricas las escalas de velocidad convectivas y los algoritmos CALPUFF para el análisis de flujos complejos. Este curso será también eminentemente práctico y el/la participante aprenderá a optimizar los diagnósticos meteorológicos y mejorará su conocimientos en adquisición y procesado de datos.
OBJECTIVES
This course is intended for air quality professionals working, or planning to work, in the assessment of air pollution impact. At the end of the course the attendee should be able to understand the basics of regulatory air dispersion modeling and to use screening and refined models for permit applications and risk assessment. Students will work on case studies using AERMOD View.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Air quality professionals in environmental consulting companies, government agencies, and other corporate environmental engineers involved, or planning to be involved, in the prediction of the impact caused by sources of air pollution.

CALPUFF Training (Air Dispersion Modeling Workshop)
17 a 19 de marzo de 2010
OBJECTIVES
This course is intended for air quality professionals who require a knowledge of puff air dispersion modeling approaches and techniques. This course builds upon essential ADM concepts demonstrating the potential for accurate results at small and large scales or in regions of immense complexity. At the end of the course the attendee should be able to use the appropriate model necessary for a variety of regulatory applications, efficiently using the model at-hand. Case studies will be used throughout the course giving "real world" applicability to atmospheric dispersion theory.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Air quality professionals in environmental consulting companies, government agencies, and other corporate environmental engineers involved, or planning to be involved, in the prediction of the impact caused by sources of air pollution.
