Technical Meteorological Web Site for SESARM
  1. Introduction

    Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. (AER) has entered into a contract with the Southeastern States Air Resource Managers, Inc. (SESARM) to perform meteorological modeling performance evaluation and documentation. This web site serves as the primary means for distributing and evaluating the substantial meteorological modeling results/summaries and communicating the corresponding documentation to SESARM.

    As such, this web site, when fully populated with all data and documentation, satisfies the requirements for 'Task 5 Technical Meteorological Modeling Web Site' of contract S-2009-09-01. All content on this web site has been approved by the SESARM Project Officer prior to posting.

    The numbering and description associated with each result below follows directly from the content of Amendment 2 of contract S-2009-09-01.
