Getting Started - Using the BRMS
In addition to using BREEZE AERMOD to easily upload your AERMOD model scenario to the BRMS, you can submit your zipped scenario file online. Simply follow these easy steps...
- Contact BREEZE Sales to Purchase a BRMS Key. The key authorizes you to make a model run. There are a number of purchase options designed to meet your specific need, including:
- Single model run - purchase a BRMS key in advance of making a model run
- Unlimited model runs with monthly invoicing - establish an account with BREEZE and submit model runs at any time
- Reserved time - schedule time in advance to be assured of system availability
- Check the Queue. Before submitting a model run, it is recommended that you check the queue to see if there are any runs currently being processed or in the queue. Model runs are processed on a First In / First Out policy. Therefore, your run may not be processed immediately. The time your run spends in the queue is accounted in a discounted fee.
- Upload your model scenario. Model scenarios can be uploaded via the BREEZE AERMOD (version 6.2 or greater) graphical user interface or via the BRMS Web upload form. BREEZE AERMOD is not required to make a model run using the BRMS. Anyone can submit a model run as long as the run can be modeled with the U.S. EPA AERMOD Fortran executable, some exceptions apply.
- Monitor the status of your run. You will be notified via email when the model run was received, when it started, and where to download the model results.
- View Completed Model Run Listing - Once your model runs are completed, you'll be able to view run statistics and final costs for that run.
