    • Lecture 15. Fundamentals of atmospheric dispersion modeling Lesson


      Key issues:

      • Characterizing the nature, location, and intensity of emission sources for accurate modeling
      • Utilizing high-quality meteorological data to accurately simulate atmospheric conditions
      • Challenges associated with modeling dispersion in areas with complex topography or urban landscapes
      • Distribution of particle sizes emitted from sources to account for variations in dispersion behavior
      • Sensitivity analyses to understand the impact of input parameters on model outcomes
      • Simultaneous dispersion of multiple pollutants and their interactions
      • Emergency response planning and preparedness in case of accidental releases
      • Quantifying and communicating uncertainties associated with dispersion model predictions
      • Validating the performance of models against observed data
      • Ensuring that dispersion modeling meets regulatory requirements and standards
