Envimet The ENVI-met software allows
you to create sustainable
living conditions in a
constantly changing
environment. With the
interactive tools of ENVI-met
you can immerse yourself in
any aspect of the
microclimate complex and
analyze how your designs
work.
The software model is applied
worldwide, from the tropics
to the polar regions. With
more than 3,000 independent
studies, ENVI-met is the most
evaluated microclimate
model available,
demonstrating its capabilities
to accurately simulate the
outer microclimate of any
place on Earth.
WRF Numerical calculation system
for atmospheric simulation
(NWP) designed to meet the
needs of both atmospheric
research and prediction. WRF
includes two different cores
(ARW, NMM), a data
assimilation system, and a
software architecture
designed for the possibility of
distributed or parallel
executions and system
scalability. WRF implements
an extensive range of
meteorological applications
on scales ranging from meters
to thousands of kilometers.
WRF-CHEM It has two dynamic cores, a

Eurelian Mesoscale Air pollution is one of
the biggest health
problems in the urban
environment. In order
to analyze the exposure
of people and locations
to various types of air
pollutants, ENVI-met

the holistic simulation
of the microclimate to
evaluate particles of
different sizes and
reactive and non-
reactive gases .
Eurelian Macroscale WRF-Chem is the
Research and Weather

along with Chemistry.
The model simulates

model is used for
regional air quality
research, field program
analysis and cloud scale
interactions between
clouds and chemistry.
Eurelian Macroscale The meteorological
research and
forecasting model
 supports parallel computing
and system extensibility. The
model serves a wide range of
weather applications on
scales from tens of meters to
thousands of kilometers. WRF

based on real atmospheric
conditions (that is, from
observations and analysis) or
idealized conditions. WRF
offers operational forecasts a
flexible and computationally
efficient platform, while
reflecting recent advances in
physics, numbers and data
assimilation provided by the
developers of the expansive
research community. The
WRF is currently in
operational use at NCEP and
other national meteorological
centers, as well as in real-time
forecasting configurations in
laboratories, universities and
companies.

CONCLUSIONS

For me, the best model to use is the CMAQ model. It is a model that is based on the main characteristics
in which we now live. These are some of its characteristics.

New features include:

 Simplified Emission Scaling

 Improved representation of natural aerosols.
 Expanded capacity for ecological applications.
 Improved scientific complexity with faster execution times
 Additional details available in our.

and acid deposition.
