Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena and the atmospheric effect on our weather. Meteorological files are a core aspect of all air dispersion modelling and analysis projects for air quality and odour assessments.
Meteorological data are particularly important in understanding insurance, fire, pollution and aviation risks, as well as runway useability, wind farm siting, economic returns and climate change.
GHD has an extensive array of resources available for meteorological monitoring, data analysis, and modelling including CALMET and WRF to simulate the climate, irrespective of onsite specific measurements.
Our meteorological services include:
- Creation of meteorological input files for air dispersion model such as CALPUFF and AERMOD
- Aviation assessments at airports, including assessing runway orientation, wind and plume rise assessments
- Forensic meteorology and aerosol tracing
- Atypical weather pattern investigation
- Simulation and analysis of climate change risk
- Wind climatology and effective mitigation from the effects of wind
- Meteorological station design and specification
- Meteorological station compliance audits
- Observational meteorological data analysis
- Driven rain assessments
- Expert witness
