AQcast: AERMOD runs the US EPA AERMOD dispersion model and all of its pre-processors (bpipprm, aermap, aermet, aerminute, and aersurface) for a facility with provided source parameters and facility location.

AQcast will download and process all necessary terrain, landuse, and meteorological data for use in AERMOD. Receptor grids can be specified and run quickly taking advantage of Amazon Web Services cloud computing. ESRI GIS shapefiles of facility buildings and fence lines can be uploaded and input into the model or the shapes can be drawn on the map provided in the user interface.
