WindTrax is a free software tool for simulating short-range atmospheric dispersion (for horizontal distances within about 1 km of the source). It has been designed as an easy-to-use graphical interface for assessment of turbulent transport on the micro-meteorological scale using Lagrangian stochastic particle models. The intention has been to make this type of analysis accessible to the many potential users (e.g. agronomists) who may not be experienced in micro-meteorological methods; to incorporate as much expertise within the program itself, so that users are freed from as much responsibility for knowledge of transport phenomenon as possible, while yet allowing experienced atmospheric scientists the flexibility to make appropriate adjustments.
