3D Simulation in the lower troposphere: wind field adjustment to observational data and dispersion of air pollutants from combustion of sulfur-containing fuel

Abstract

Combinations of mathematical models with data at particular points from observational networks are required in order to generate physically consistent wind fields and atmospheric pollutant distributions. We describe a methodology used to evaluate the modifications to wind flow and pollutant dispersion, mainly caused by the interaction of the air flow with the terrain.
