Detailed Weather and Terrain Analysis for Aircraft Noise Modeling

A study has been conducted supporting refinement and development of Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA’s) airport environmental analysis tools. Tasks conducted in this study are: (1) updated analysis of the 1997 KDEN noise model validation study with newer versions of integrated noise model (INM) and related tools; (2) analyze a sample of the 1997 KDEN validation data with simulation modeling; (3) develop algorithms for detailed weather modeling in FAA tools; (4) assess available validation data from studies at other airports; and (5) develop simplified terrain processing implementation, adapting the process successfully employed in simulation models.
