Air permit applicants should use MassDEP processed AERMET files when using AERMOD; applicants should not process their own meteorological data.
The zipped files include processed surface and upper air meteorological data. MassDEP recommends that you consult with the air modeling staff in the MassDEP Boston office on which meteorological data set is most appropriate for your permit modeling needs.
The map below shows the locations for which data are available, including the 9 meteorological stations with AERMOD-ready meteorological data (i.e., *.sfc and *.pfl files) available for download. These are processed with the ADJ_U* option. Select individual meteorological stations under Latest Available Data (below) to download the individual station zip files.
The meteorological data sets are suitable to use for modeling required by the Environmental Results Program (ERP) and Air Plan Applications.
