ARCHIVE OF PROTOCOL FOR COMPARING AIR DISPERSION MODELS
5. Data Files for Protocol - Terrain Data Files.
For the calculations with terrain, ADMS requires separate input data files of terrain heights. These files are listed in Table 9 and included in the dataset.
For AERMOD and ISC the necessary terrain data are included within the individual input datafiles listed in Tables 1,2,5 and 6. However, for plotting purposes or for use in other models, the .grd files corresponding to the ADMS .ter files are included in the dataset and are detailed in Table 10.
A zip file containing all the terrain data is provided for downloading:
