- The Aerospace Corporation
http://www.aero.org/envsys/MVP.html
The Environmental Systems division has developed a model validation program (MVP) for improving the toxic hazard dispersion models used at space vehicle launch sites (Cape Canaveral in Florida and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California). Launch cloud and atmospheric tracer data collected by the MVP were used to test and upgrade the predictions.
- The CAMP Research Program
http://camp.gmu.edu/
The George Mason University in Virginia has a research program called CAMP (Comprehensive Atmospheric Modeling Program). The focus of the program, funded by the U.S. Defense Department, is on atmospheric transport and dispersion of releases of nuclear, biological, and chemical agents. A wide range of available air dispersion models will be acquired and evaluated.
- The CAPARS System
http://www.rarc.org/Overview/CAPARSSummary.HTML
The Computer-Assisted Protective Action Recommendation System (CAPARS) is an integrated model for predicting the path and impacts of an atmospheric release of hazardous materials. It is used by a Regional Atmospheric Response Center (RARC) in Denver, Colorado, funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, to tell their staff where the plume will go, when it will arrive, how serious the impacts may be, and what protective actions to take.
- U.S. EPA's Support Center for Regulatory Air Models
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/scram/
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses this site to provide information on the many dispersion models supporting regulatory programs required by U.S. law. All of the EPA's dispersion models and their Users' Manuals can be downloaded cost-free from here. An online forum is also provided for discussion/questions/answers on all aspects of the EPA's models.
- UCR Air Quality Modeling Group
http://www.engr.ucr.edu/mechanical/
The mechanical engineering department of the University of California at Riverside (UCR) has an air quality modeling group performing research in the development and application of small-scale dispersion models, as well as the development of simplified and comprehensive photochemical models.
