Abstract |
LONGZ is designed to calculate the long-term pollutant concentration produced at a large number of receptors by emissions from multiple stack, building, and area sources. LONGZ uses statistical wind summaries to calculate long-term (seasonal or annual) average concentrations. The model is applicable in areas of both flat and complex terrain, including areas where terrain elevations exceed stack-top elevations. The program requires random-access mass storage capability. SHORTZ is designed to calculate the short-term pollutant concentration produced at a large number of receptors by emissions from multiple stack, building, and area sources. It uses sequential short term (usually hourly) meteorological inputs to calculate concentrations for averaging times ranging from 1 hour to 1 year. The model is applicable in areas of both flat and complex terrain, including areas where terrain elevations exceed stack-top elevations. The program requires random-access mass storage capability. An associated compatible meteorological data processor is METZ. |
