 ===== 4.1 Introduction =====
-O AERMAP é um pré-processador topográfico desenvolvido pela EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) para auxiliar o modelo de dispersão atmosférica AERMOD. Ele processa dados de elevação do terreno, gerando informações essenciais sobre o relevo que influenciam na dispersão de poluentes.
+**AERMAP** is a topographic preprocessor developed by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to support the atmospheric dispersion model [[aermod|AERMOD]]. It processes terrain elevation data, generating essential information about the relief that influences pollutant dispersion.
-Objetivo Principal:
+Primary Objective:
-  * Processar dados topográficos para caracterizar o terreno na área de estudo.
-  * Gerar parâmetros de elevação usados pelo AERMOD, como alturas do terreno em cada receptor/fonte, declividades e efeitos de obstáculos.
-=== Dados de Entrada ===
+  * Process topographic data to characterize the terrain in the study area.
-^ Tipo ^ Descrição ^ Formatos/Exemplos ^
+  * Generate elevation parameters used by [[aermod|AERMOD]], such as terrain heights at each receptor/source, slopes, and obstacle effects.

+Why is AERMAP important?
-==== 4.2.1. National Elevation Dataset (NED) ====
-First, download the AERMAP executable from the site [[https://www.epa.gov/scram/air-quality-dispersion-modeling-related-model-support-programs| EPA AERMAP]] e extraia o arquivo na pasta ''C:\Users\Cliente\Desktop\AermodTutorial\4.AERMAP''.
-Next, visit the site: [[https://apps.nationalmap.gov/downloader/|National Map]] to acquire the elevation data for AERMAP. Para fazer o download desses dados, siga o passo a passo abaixo, conforme mostrado tambem na [[#Figure 1|Figure 1]]:
+  * Accuracy: Ensures [[aermod|AERMOD]] correctly accounts for terrain impact on pollutants.
+  * Efficiency: Automates complex elevation calculations for multiple points.
+  * Compatibility: Uses global topographic data standards (e.g., USGS).
