Mr. David Strimaitis, a Senior Program Manager at TRC, is a research meteorologist and air quality consultant with thirty years of experience in developing and evaluating air quality models and in performing permitting/regulatory projects. He has participated in all phases of numerous studies involving the design and implementation of measurement programs and the acquisition and analysis of transport and dispersion data to satisfy both research and permitting objectives. As a principal developer of the CALPUFF modeling system, much of his recent work has focused on extending and refining the system, including enhancements for visibility impact assessments, over-water transport and diffusion and resolving sub-hourly emissions and meteorological timescales. He has also contributed to the development and maintenance of the GUIs. Other air quality models and processors that contain modules modified or developed by Mr. Strimaitis include KSP, CTDM, CTDMPLUS, ISC3 (originally ISC-COMPDEP), ISC-PRIME, INPUFF3, MPRM, MEM, and POSTIT. Mr. Strimaitis has applied many of the dense gas and air toxics models currently available for acute exposure analyses, and has evaluated their performance against data from field experiments.
