A discussion covers information which should be supplied to the consulting meteorologist; typical requests made by industrial concerns of various consultants; feeding meteorological data to models; the use of meteorological information in developing prevention of significant deterioration requirements; sources of error, e.g., assuming that digital values have a higher validity than the original analog records; the need for industrial concerns to develop sets of site-specific data; and the greater liability of air flow and stability frequencies estimated by professional meteorologists than transposed historical data from the nearest airport station for use as model input to make preliminary planning decisions.
