Abstract
The Climatological Dispersion Model (CDM) determines long-term (seasonal or annual) quasi-stable pollutant concentrations at any ground-level receptor using average emission rates from point and area sources and a joint frequency distribution of wind direction, wind speed, and stability for the same period. This model differs from the Air Quality Display Model (AQDM) primarily in the way in which concentrations are determined from area sources, the use of Briggs' plume rise formula, and the use of an assumed power law increase in wind speed with height that depends on the stability. The material presented in diredted toward the engineer familiar with computer techniques and will enable him to perform calculations with the CDM. Technical details of the computer programming are discussed; complete descriptions of input, output, and a test case are given. Flow diagrams and a source program listing are included. Campanion papers on the technical details of the model and on validation are included as appendices. (Author)
