SELMAGIS für ArcGIS 9.x/10 AUSTAL2000 MEMO, MARS/MUSE PROKAS

English version

SELMA^GIS is a system for Air Pollution Modelling and Visualization. SELMA^GIS offers a unique graphical user interface to work with different dispersion models. It's based on the Geographical Information System ArcGIS 9.1 - 9.3, 10 and is used as an extension in ArcMap. SELMA^GIS makes it easy to work with different sophisticate dispersion models utilising all advantages from the large functionality of ArcGIS, e.g. getting and preparing input data from large data bases, result evaluation by spatial joining with different theme layers and 3D-visualisation (requires 3D-Analyst extension from ESRI).

Modules in SELMA^GIS

SELMA^GIS includes the following Tools:

• SELMA^Digitizing Tools. For digitising road, area and point emission source and 3-dimensional building information's. All data are stored as data base format Shape (ESRI)
• SELMA^Meteo for importing, visualizing and meteorological information from measured data,
• SELMA^Emission
  • to define time series (variation in the year) and
  • to calculate the exhaust pipe emissions of vehicles, including Pm10 emissions calculation appropriate Düring et.al
• SELMA^Domain for defining the receptor grid (nesting is possible)
• SELMA^Navigator for starting the current model. There are implemented yet AUSTAL2000, MEMO and MARS/MUSE
• SELMA^{Visualisation} to evaluate result data coming out from different dispersion models. The results of each calculation are visualized directly in ArcMap (*. shp) and saved as EXCEL compatible files (*. dbf). Further processing, for example for comparisons with monitoring data, is possible. Various export formats are supported from ArcGIS, e.g. PDF, JPEG, TIF, Mapinfo, Google Earth (only with ArcGIS 9.3 and 10).

At this time SELMA^GIS includes the following dispersion models:

• AUSTAL2000 for calculating dispersion of various substances from point (stacks), line (Streets), area (dumps), grid (emission inventories) and volume emission sources. AUSTAL2000 includes a 3-dimensional Lagrangian particle model and contains a flow model being able to cope with complex terrain (mountains, hills) and also the effects of buildings. AUSTAL2000 is official German Federal Environmental Agency air pollution dispersion model and meets the demands contained in appendix 3 of the German "Technical Instruction Clean Air" (TA Luft).
• The mesoscale meteorological model MEMO and the dispersion model MARS/MUSE including a model for photochemical reactions. It can be used for calculation in large extents and is able to consider emission inventories. MEMO and MARS/MUSE is developed and supported by the University of Thessalonica, Greece
• We are working on implementing the dispersion model PROKAS.  PROKAS is used for calculation of air pollution concentration on roads and road systems. It consists of various modules to calculate emissions on roads, pollutant dispersion on roads without or with loose developments, as well as dispersion on densely developed roads (street canyons).
• additional dispersion moduls will be implemented on demand

SELMA^GIS is available in English, German and Lithuanian language. The documentation and online help is only available in English language.

Area of Application

SELMA^GIScan be applied in different scales (from mesoscale down to microscale) as well for screening purposes to get first quick estimations on the basis of a reduced set of input data, as for sophisticated applications using high quality data and models.

Reference

The modules of  SELMA^GIS are tested and in practical use in Germany, Austria, Bosnia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and offices of Ingenieurbüro Lohmeyer GmbH & Co. KG in Karlsruhe and Dresden..
The first Version of SELMA^GISwas distributed in 2000 (release 1.0). Release 2.0 came out 2002 and Release 3.x in 2003. Release 1.x to 3.x are running under the GIS ArcView 3.x. For the GIS ArcGIS ArcView 9.x SELMA^GIS was basic renewed to the Release 9.0 in 2005. Die aktuelle Version unterstützt auch ArcGIS 10.
AUSTAL2000 is in use e.g. all over Germany because it is the official wind field and dispersion model of the directive TA-Luft. The module is evaluated by several scientific projects which are available under the web page of AUSTAL2000 .
Data on performance: ArcGIS ArcView 9 of ESRI is the popular widespread basis of SELMA^GIS 9. Dispersion modelling by AUSTAL2000 is introduced in Germany and in widespread use. SELMA^GIS 3.1, the predecessor release performed excellent in many locations.
SELMA^GIS user and projects:

• The Bulgarian ministry for environment. First project was the EU-financed TWINNING-project with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety: Supply of Air Quality Management at Local Level
• Air quality project of the Delegation of the European Commission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (EuropeAid/119161/C/S/BA (EC/BiH/04/016), "Equipment Supply for Air Monitoring Bosnia and Herzegovina") which starts in summer 2005.
• Air quality project: Development of a Joint Air Quality Management Programme of the Boundary Bulgarian-Romanian Region along "Lower Danube" Project No. EuropeAid/121203/D/SV/BG "Working with dispersion model SELMA GIS"
• Air quality management department of the Environmental Protection Agency Lithuania

Hard- and software requirements

SELMA^GIS require the operating system Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7 and a licence of ArcGIS 9.1 - 9.3.1 We recommend a PC with Processor Pentium ® IV or equivalent, minimum speed 3.0 GHz, minimum DDRAM 512 MB better 1 GB and HDD minimum 100 GB.
