Air Quality Management
Through the conduct of its mission and land management activities, DoD is a source for a number of non-point source air emissions that are under regulatory control. SERDP and ESTCP efforts are developing and demonstrating science, models, technologies, and methods to characterize and monitor DoD’s fire and dust fugitive emissions, provide emission factors, model their dispersion and contributions to local and regional air quality, and assess and reduce their environmental impacts.

DUSTRANModel / Software and Guidance DUSTRAN is a comprehensive dispersion modeling system consisting of a dust-emission module, a diagnostic meteorological model, and dispersion models that are integrated seamlessly into a geographic information system (GIS) interface. The dust emissions module calculates emissions for explicit size classes from both active (e.g. vehicular) and natural (e.g. wind-blown) sources. Users can interactively create a release scenario using data layering that displays the model domain, sources, and results as well as other spatial and geophysical data sources to aid in analyzing and interpreting the scenario. DUSTRAN 1.0 User’s Guide: A GIS-Based Atmospheric Dust Dispersion Modeling System – documents the technical aspects of the modeling system and includes installation instructions, and detailed example tutorials, in addition to the user’s guide. |
