Built-In Data Access

Environmental Data, Within Reach

Access essential environmental datasets directly from AERMOD One, without searching external data portals or managing downloads.

Location-based retrieval
Get relevant data using your project area or station coordinates.
Integrated datasets
Terrain, land cover, elevation and population in one interface.
Global coverage
Access worldwide environmental datasets for modelling projects.
Integrated Data

The data you need, built into your modelling workflow.

AERMOD One provides direct access to global terrain, land-cover, elevation and population datasets within the modelling interface. Data retrieval, processing and format preparation are handled automatically, allowing you to focus on model configuration rather than external data management.

Define your location, review the prepared data and apply it directly to the relevant modelling workflow.

01
Define
Set the study area or station location.
02
Retrieve
Get the relevant environmental dataset.
03
Review
Check the data and supporting information.
04
Apply
Use it directly in the modelling workflow.
Terrain
Elevation data for AERMAP

Build the terrain surface needed to establish source and receptor elevations across your modelling domain.

Coverage
Global
Source
SRTM Elevation
Resolution
30 m or 90 m
Data
GeoTIFF / SRTM

AERMOD One retrieves elevation for the study area, prepares the project DEM and keeps the selected terrain dataset with the project.

Workflow: AERMAP Source & receptor elevations
Land Cover
Surface data for AERSURFACE

Turn global land-cover data into the surface characteristics required for meteorological processing.

Coverage
Global
Source
ESA WorldCover 2021
Source resolution
10 m
Prepared data
30 m GeoTIFF

AERMOD One retrieves land cover around the site, prepares it for AERSURFACE and lets you review the resulting surface characteristics before applying them to meteorological processing.

Workflow: AERSURFACE AERMET surface characteristics
Meteorology
Station elevation

Complete meteorological station information without running a separate terrain workflow for a single elevation.

Coverage
Global lookup
Data
Point elevation
Input
Latitude / longitude
Units
Metres above sea level

Enter the station coordinates and AERMOD One retrieves the corresponding surface elevation. A known station elevation can always be used instead.

Workflow: Point elevation AERMOD / AERMET
Urban Setting
Population for urban modelling

Understand population and density around the site when configuring AERMOD's urban option.

Coverage
Global
Source
GHS-POP R2023A
Resolution
100 m
Population year

Automated Data Preparation

From Raw Data to Model-Ready Inputs

AERMOD One handles the technical preparation required to make environmental data usable in the relevant modelling workflow.

Format compatibility
Prepare datasets in formats required by modelling processors.
Automatic processing
Handle spatial processing, classification and preparation where required.
Direct workflow integration
Review and apply prepared data without leaving the project.
