Air Quality Modeling (MODL)

The Air Quality Modeling curriculum is intended for learners who conduct air quality modeling, with a particular focus on dispersion and photochemical modeling.

In the left column, you will find entire e-learning courses. The right column provides the content of those same courses arranged by learning objective, for learners who would like to customize their learning plan or who are looking for more targeted training content. (It should be noted that training material is not yet available for all learning objectives.)
eLearning Courses

After completion of this course, learners will be able to explain meteorology and the role it plays influencing ambient air quality.
