Iron Mountain, Michigan

This table contains all relevant information including ID, elevation of the sensor, links to the data sets, maps of land use surrounding the sensor, and the text input file used for stage 3 processing in AERMET. Please note the following:

• The elevation should be entered into the AERMOD input file in the ME pathway under the keyword PROFBASE.
• The land use plot gives a general overview of the land use within 3 kilometers of the sensor. When more than one meteorologically similar station is found, the user should use the land use to determine representativeness.
• The AERMET Stage 3 input file provides the specific roughness, albedo, and bowen ratio for each wind sector for each season.
• All stations meet the USEPA completeness requirement (>90%) but the number of missing hours is provided so the user can further differentiate between similar representative data sets. If the station is meteorologically representative and has similar land use, then the station with less missing data should be selected.
