AERMOD includes two data preprocessors for streamlining data input. AERMET, a meteorological preprocessor, computes boundary layer and other necessary parameters for use with AERMOD and accepts data from both on-site and off-site sources. AERMAP is a terrain preprocessor that simplifies the computation of receptor elevations and effective height scales for numerous types of digital data formats, including USGS 1 Degree and 7.5 minute digital elevation model (DEM) files and U.K. Ordnance Survey® digital elevation data.

BREEZE AERMOD GIS Pro users are about to experience a new level of performance with the release of Version 6.0.  The following are some highlights:
