When applying for regulatory approvals and renewals within Alberta, industrial facilities with air emissions must run air quality models to estimate the ground level concentration of pollutants to prove they do not exceed ambient air quality standards. These models are based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's science and require meteorological data as an input (wind speed, wind direction, etc.).

Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) provides the models, meteorological data set, and an extraction utility so that industry can search for and extract the data they need in the required format for input into the models. AEP is looking to update their air quality models to use newer EPA science; however, the current meteorological data set, dated 2002 - 2006, is missing information required by the new models. A new meteorological data set and extraction utility needs to be created in order to implement new air quality models.

Please see Negotiated Request for Proposals (NRFP) #288PA-972 document for details.
