• Describe, in general terms, what concepts are important to atmospheric dispersion and how they relate to ground-level pollutant concentrations

• Explain how the primary processes in the atmospheric boundary layer that affect dispersion are conceptually, and in some cases mathematically, constructed in AERMOD

• Define much of the terminology that is used in AERMOD

• Run a complete modeling scenario using the AERMOD modeling system

• Develop the inputs needed to execute the various preprocessors that make up the AERMOD modeling system

• Run each preprocessor of the modeling system successfully

• Troubleshoot an unsuccessful run

• Analyze the output from each preprocessor and AERMOD itself

• Describe the AERMOD system better than if they used a third-party graphical user interface
