PSD AERMOD Meteorological Data Sets

For PSD applications, a special approach for AERMOD meteorology has been established in NC, based on a similar procedure used in TX. To view directions and guidance on this process, click the link below. In each of the data sets below there are three alternatives based upon surface roughness at the facility location. As outlined in our guidance, AERSURFACE along with the NC landuse file in geotiff format is used in the process to select the appropriate data.
