Mr. Klausmann is a Certified Consulting Meteorologist with more than 20 years of experience in the areas of air quality and applied meteorology. He has expertise with a wide range of air quality models including the CALMET/CALPUFF modeling system. He has performed numerous air quality impact assessments and meteorological studies to support permitting, environmental impact reports, siting and feasibility studies, consequence analysis for potential hazardous chemical releases and nuclear emergency preparedness. He has performed numerous CALMET and CALPUFF modeling studies for various industrial facilities, including long range transport modeling for visibility impact studies. Mr. Klausmann has worked extensively with the Penn State/NCAR mesoscale meteorological model (MM5). He has conducted real time daily MM5 simulations over New Zealand for the Americas Cup races, conducted real-time MM5 simulations, for Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race in Australia during December 2000 and for the 2002 Volvo Ocean race, which involved designing and implementing real-time MM5 simulations over several geographical regions worldwide. Mr. Klausmann has also conducted MM5 simulations with four dimensional data assimilation over Brazil to support air quality impact studies using the CALMET/CALPUFF models. Mr. Klausmann is currently working on an evaluation of the MM5 performance for multi-year MM5 simulations with Four Dimensional Data Assimilation over the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. In addition, he has provided real time meteorological analysis and forecasts to support both the America’s Cup races and the Volvo Ocean Race. He has also provided specialized forecasting services on several projects to support air and storm water sampling operations.
