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:
