AUSTAL
View is far more than an user interface - it is an autarc software system for
beginners as well as for experts - it operates according to ergonomical rules
and can be controlled intuitively. The development is based on the know how of
IT experts and the year long experience of air pollution meteorologists from
their practical work. Thus the result is convincing.

ISY-MESSTELLE (Management of descriptions of measuring points and concentrations)
ISY-Meßstelle is a data base application software to
manage descriptions of measuring points,
concentration indicators and meteorological parameters. ISY-Meßstelle is able to manage
the following data for measuring points:
Descriptions of measuring points according to appendix E 1, 4. BImSchVw
Annual averages and 98%-percentiles for the pollutants SO2, NO, NO2, CO, O3, CmHn,C6H6, smoke...
Meteorological parameters (annual averages of wind speed, air temperature, amount of precipitation)
Pictures of the measuring points
ISY-Meßstelle allows user easy working with the mouse. The data can be filtered after measuring point, loaction, position, environment, level, etc.
ISY-Meßstelle offers the possibility to enter logical connections to examine the database (e.g. listing of all measuring points with a NO2-concentration for a specific year higher than the entered value and the measuring points correspond thecase I after Anlage B, 4. BImSchVwV ).

MIMMIKRI (Calculation of immission grids and two-dimensional resolution derived from routine measurements)
MIMMIKRI allows the calculation of immission grids based on routine point measurements of immissions and meteorological data. The basic mathematical method is not a dispersion calculation, it is an interpolation with the help of overlapped immission concentration data and wind direction as well as position data of measuring points. Immission cadasters are calculated as events which surpass resolution and covering of all previous available cadasters with their quality. The calculated cadasters can be presented graphically (black/white and coloured). The maximum of the resolution depends on the distribution and density of the considered stations. The program has a built-in function that is able to calculate the maximum resolution.

ODOR View (the graphic user interface for odor dispersion models)
ODOR View can be applied where the use of the models listed in the GIRL (guideline for odor dispersion and impact) is impossible or only restricted, e.g. for:
· odor emissions variable in time · low level sources · receptors near the source · complex terrain · building effects (externally calculated wind fields)
· modelling of the dispersion of odorous substances based on the program AUSTAL2000 with freely selectable peak-to-mean-factor and threshold value
· The official and mandatory program "AUSTAL-G" which is expected for early 2004 will be implemented within a program update for no extra cost, as soon as it becomes available.
· ODOR View as a deviator of AUSTAL View is similar performant and can be used efficiently after a short training.
· Free updates within the 1st year
· Technical hotline by experienced experts
· Discount for AUSTAL View users

Information and contact: http://atmos.es.mq.edu.au/~rdedear/pmv/
The current version of the program developed by the Institut für Geographie of the University of Hamburg for digital cartography is version 4.1 under MS DOS. At the moment it is tried to integrate the program into Windows NT. Based on the plane-principle the program has a large variety of functions in the area of development and output of maps. The decisive advantage of POLYPLOT is the immense flexibility of the program. Besides the extensive possibilities to define colours and symbols the program must be honored for fast data processing. Several additional symbol directories are available.

The Geographical Information System SPANS (SPatial ANalysis System) of the company TYDAC Research Inc. based in Canada was written in 1986 as a PC-based GIS. SPANS is built modular and is available on the one hand as complete system or on the other hand as combination of modules. In every case the user gets an integrated system with all functions combined in a uniform menu surface. Besides the basic module there are single modules especially for terrain analysis, point interpolation, modelling and cartographical output available. The special capabilities of the system are aside from the data model deduced resulting analysis potential (e.g. area statistics, three-dimensional presentation, diffusion, cell modelling, network analysis, gravitation models) particularily the integration of data of different origins and different formats. Despite clear stress on grid data processing SPANS is regarded as a hybrid GIS, which is able to process grid data as well as vector data. The main part of the analysis functions is located in the grid basis. SPANS is using here the Quadtree-data structure as a special grid data structure. In version 6 the data base connection to Microsoft Access is possible.

SURFER (Inexpensive program to present two-dimensional grid data)
The program SURFER allows the processing of grid data to present maps as isolines, entering of grid points derived from symbols, almost picture-like looking presentations, reliefs with shade (adjustable) and coloured 3-D-presentations. A part of the program allows the calculation of grid data derived from irregular distributed single data with several iteration programs. Cutting, compressing or diluting of grid data is possible as well as the calculation of two different grid data records. The features of this program are compared to the price great.
