Noise Emission and Propagation Modeling

The Noise Emission and Propagation Modeling project focuses on the effect of meteorological conditions on the propagation of the noise. The lessons learned from this research will be considered by FAA and its partners for inclusion in the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT).
