The connection between the French dynamic air pollution model Panache PANEPR and ArcInfo for accidental modeling was made in our laboratory. GIS is a source of spatial data for border conditions for computer fluid dynamics (CFD). Automatic creation of those conditions for modeling is now possible thanks to AML modules in ArcInfo. GIS can also automatically separate the results of modeling from CFD output files and convert them to ArcInfo coverages. It is then possible to show them in 3D (flow vectors) in real space using ArcView 3D Analyst. (See some results on the Web at labgis.vsb.cz).
