Evaluation of the influence of micrometeorological data on concentration estimates
A dispersion model for continuous releases of pollutants in the atmospheric boundary layer is applied to study the influence on modelled concentrations of different estimates of the key micrometeorological variables that represent the dispersion processes. The modelling approach is based on the adve...

A dispersion model for continuous releases of pollutants in the atmospheric boundary layer is applied to study the influence on modelled concentrations of different estimates of the key micrometeorological variables that represent the dispersion processes. The modelling approach is based on the advection-diffusion equation and includes profiles of wind and eddy diffusivity for the entire atmospheric boundary layer. Their functional forms depend on relevant parameters that represent the turbulent mechanisms in a wide range of stabilities. The Prairie Grass experiments were considered for the evaluation. The model performed satisfactorily in the estimation of the near surface crosswind integrated concentrations. The distinct micrometeorological parameters caused, in general, minor differences in the concentrations. However, a greater impact was found during very stable or unstable conditions. In consequence, in these particular situations, the methodologies to obtain the micrometeorological parameters must be carefully analysed. Copyright © 2014 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. |
