A detailed technical discussion of the revised ISC Model. The ISC Model consists of two computer programs designed to consider these and other factors so as to meet the dispersion-modeling needs of air pollution control agencies and others responsible for performing dispersion-modeling analyses. Major features in the revised model code include: (1) a regulatory default option that incorporates regulatory guidance contained in the Guideline on Air Quality Models as revised in 1986; (2) a CALMS processing procedure; (3) a new Urban Mode 3 that utilizes urban dispersion parameters published by Briggs based on observations of McElroy and Pooler in St. Louis, and (4) revised sets of wind-speed-profile exponents for rural and urban scenarios.
