Dispersion

Models to compare

CALPUFF

CALPUFF is a multi-layer non-steady-state puff dispersion model that can simulate the effects of temporally and spatially varying meteorological conditions on pollutant transport, transformation, and removal.

• used as implemented in the BlueSky Framework

HYSPLIT

HYSPLIT is a complete system for computing simple trajectories to complex dispersion and deposition simulations using either puff or particle approaches.  Advection and diffusion calculations are made in a Lagrangian framework, while concentrations are calculated on a fixed Eulerian grid.
