Literature Review

last modified Jun 03, 2009 10:45 PM

A search of existing JFSP projects for data and models of interest.

Search of peer-reviewed literature

We have done searches on likely terms to catch fuels, consumption, emissions, plume, and dispersion models and inter-model comparisons.  While unlikely to be truly complete, these published papers provide the background on which SEMIP's analyses rest.  See also:

Based on our literature search, we are starting with the following papers. This list will be updated periodically.
