Guys -- <br>
I spent a few minutes this afternoon with Brian Rood. I was
pretty much right on target with what he wanted. Here are a few
particulars.<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>He really liked the idea of us starting out with a "dome" of
pollution and moving it based on the hourly wind data</li>
<li>While he DOES NOT have specific information about the
pollutants, he is going to come up with some sort of value that
will give us the amount of pollutants produced per plane. One
piece of data you guys need to come up with is the average
number of flights leaving the airport each hour throughout the
day. With this data and the "amount of pollution per plane" we
can make a good approximation to how much pollutant is added to
our system on an hourly basis.</li>
<li>He tells me that we should be able to find some free GIS
data. He rattled off several sites during our meeting, but I
don't remember exactly them exactly. You guys might want to
contact him about this. He also said that if you wanted to use
ArcGIS he would be more than happy to show you how to use it.</li>
</ol>
