NAME III dispersion model

NAME III is our next-generation atmospheric dispersion model, currently in development, that will succeed the existing NAME model over the next few years.

NAME III (Numerical Atmospheric-dispersion Modelling Environment) has enhanced capabilities beyond current NAME, including improved modelling of short-range dispersion such as buildings effects. Our new model will provide a 'unified' approach to dispersion modelling, applicable from local scales of a few metres up to a global scale and for uses ranging from emergency-response to environmental impact assessment.
