The program is part of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia. Within the program, a Pollution Dispersion team: studies the Lagrangian theory of turbulent dispersion; conducts laboratory and field studies of convective boundary layer growth, turbulence, and dispersion; and develops advanced air dispersion models utilizing ideas from the Lagrangian theory studies and from the laboratory and field studies.

A report published in 1995, "Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling Resources", can be downloaded from this site. It includes descriptions, contact people, and other details about 94 dispersion models. The report was developed by the: Subcommittee on Consequence Assessment and Protective Action (SCAPA), of the Emergency Management Advisory Committee, of the U.S. Department of Energy.

The Air Quality Management (AQM) Resource Centre is maintained at the University of the West of England in Bristol, England. It provides much useful information, including brief descriptions of many British and USA air dispersion models.

Developed by the United Kingdom's Meteorological Office, the NAME model is part of the contingency plans in the event of accidental releases of radioactivity into the atmosphere: to provide early warning for the guidance of emergency services; and to predict concentrations, depositions and dosages of radionuclides as input to impact assessments.

Within the U.S.'s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the ARL conducts research on the transport, dispersion, transformation, and removal of atmospheric pollutants ... leading to the development of air quality and dispersion models. The ARL also supports other U.S. agencies. In particular, the ARL's Atmospheric Turbulence & Diffusion Division (ATTD) and Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division (ASMD) support the U.S. EPA in developing regulatory air dispersion models.

Presents the detailed, complete equation for Gaussian air dispersion modeling, including: cross-wind dispersion parameter, vertical dispersion parameter due to reflection from the ground, and vertical dispersion parameter due to reflection from an inversion lid aloft.

Publicizes the book "Fundamentals Of Stack Gas Dispersion" ... a comprehensive single-source reference book on dispersion modeling of continuous, buoyant pollution plumes. Includes published peer reviews, complete Table of Contents, and information about how to obtain copies.

Founded in 1993 by the Municipality of Tehran, Iran, the primary role of AQCC is providing research, consultation, planning and implementation of services regarding air and noise pollution in Tehran.

The Computer-Assisted Protective Action Recommendation System (CAPARS) is an integrated model for predicting the path and impacts of an atmospheric release of hazardous materials. It is used by a Regional Atmospheric Response Center (RARC) in Denver, Colorado, funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, to tell their staff where the plume will go, when it will arrive, how serious the impacts may be, and what protective actions to take.

The U.S. EPA's SCRAM website public discussion forum (moderated) for all aspects of the EPA's various air pollution dispersion models.
