AERMOD_Framework
This framework is designed to help people who are doing air quality analysis simulations to simply set parameters to write the inputs, run, and process the outputs of AERMOD.
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows (versions of AERPLOT and AERMOD needed for other OS)
PYTHON VERSION: Python 3.x (should work with 2.7 also)
DEPENDENCIES: openpyxl
The requirements to run this framework is that you need to have meteorological data already processed by AERMET. Once you have processed AERMET data, this framework is fully ready to be used. AERMAP isn't required to run this framework, but the program can accept AERMAP data and use it in AERMOD runs if specified.
run_framework.py contains in depth detail about the parameters used to run the framework, and should be used as a reference for how the framework works and for more information about the outputs.
Denver_Airport_Example contains a fully running example of the framework that is ready to run as is. There is more information in the README in the Denver_Airport_Example folder.
