Short summary

We present the first representation of grass pollen in a 3-D dispersion model in Australia, tested using observations from eight counting sites in Victoria. The technology was developed in response to the severe thunderstorm asthma event which took place in Melbourne in November 2016. A total of 10 pollen emission methodologies were developed and evaluated. The best results were obtained using statistical methods that included elements of the satellite derived enhanced vegetation index.
