Offshore and Coastal Dispersion (OCD) Model, Version 3. 0. Model-Simulation
The Offshore and Coastal Dispersion Model was adapted from the EPA guideline model MPTER to simulate the effect of offshore emissions from point sources in coastal regions. Modifications were made to incorporate overwater plume transport and dispersion and changes that occur as the plume crosses the shoreline. Modifications included the use of turbulence intensities to define dispersion regimes, use of the RTD Model to treat plume reflection in elevated terrain, use of the BLP Model to incorporate building downwash and plume rise to the model, partial plume penetration into elevated inversions, a virtual source to describe plume growth as the plume intercepts the overland internal boundary layer, and a continuous fumigation modular. Software Description: The system is written in the FORTRAN programming language for implementation on a AMDAHL V7 computer using the VSV7 operating system. 500K bytes of core storage are required to operate the system.
