8.1 Evaluation of a Comprehensive Meteorological/dispersion Model with Data from a Shoreline Urban Field Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper evaluates the concentration estimates from a comprehensive model, The Air Pollution Model (TAPM), developed by Australia’s CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) with observations from a field study conducted in 2005 at Wilmington, a coastal urban area located south of Los Angeles. The performance of TAPM in describing the results from the field study was compared with that of a semiempirical dispersion model. We first provide a brief description of the field study and then present results from the two models.

Artificial neural network forecast application for fine particulate matter concentration using meteorological data
Most parts of the urban areas are faced with the problem of floating fine particulate matter. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the amounts of fine particulate matter concentrations through the urban atmosphere. In this research, an artificial neural network technique was utilized to model the PM2.5 dispersion in Tehran City. Factors which are influencing the predicted value consi...

We present results from a field study conducted in Wilmington, a suburb of Los Angeles, during 8 days of the period 26 August–10 September 2004. The tracer, sulfur hexafluoride, was released at a height of 3m from a power plant site on the shoreline, and the concentrations of the tracer were sampled on five arcs at 100, 400, 1000, 3000, and 5000m from the source during 6 h of the day starting a...

متن کاملModeling of carbon monoxide dispersion around the urban tunnel portals
The aim of this study is to investigate the problems caused by discharge of polluted air from tunnels into the environment with a specific focus on residential areas. In city tunnels, portal or stacks, pollutant management is a big challenge. Nowadays, air quality management, particularly in urban tunnels, is considered as a part of the ventilation system design. The goal is to see the environm...
