estimate of the expected trajectory of an air parcel by the advection transport mechanism, originating from (forward trajectory) or arriving at (backward trajectory) a specified geographical location and a vertical level. Models developed in India HAMS-GPS – Software used for management of environment, health and safety (EHS). It can be used for training as well as research involving dispersion modeling, accident analysis, fires, explosions, risk assessments and other related subjects.

Addresses the international community of atmospheric dispersion modellers – primarily researchers, but also users of models. Its purpose is to pool experiences gained by dispersion modellers during their work.
