Operational Advanced Air Pollution Modeling

Abstract — Operational models that use solutions of the advection-diffusion equation based on more realistic assumptions than that of homogeneous wind and eddy diffusivity coefficients are presented. In particular a new parameterization for a model using a solution that accepts wind and eddy diffusivity profiles described by power functions of height is introduced. The performance of the model with the new parameterization was assessed using experimental data sets.
