[ 1 ] - An Innovative Method to Allocate Air-Pollution-Related Taxes, Using Aermod Modeling (case study: Besat Power Plant).

The present study applies the model of American Meteorological Society-Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) to investigate NO2 emissions from Besat thermal power plant, which is fuelled by natural gas to function. Results indicate that the simulated concentration of NO2 based on AERMOD, does not exceed NO2 concentration limit, set by the Iranian Ambient Air Quality Standard...

[ 2 ] - Modeling of Air Pollutants’ Dispersion by Means of CALMET/CALPUFF (Case Study: District 7 in Tehran city).

The current study aims at modelling the dispersion of two pollutants, namely CO (carbon monoxide) and SO2 (sulfur dioxide) released from District 7 of Tehran Municiaplity, from 20 main line sources, by means of CALPUFF modeling system. CALPUFF is a non-steady state puff modeling software which employs meteorological, terrain, and land-use data to effectively simulate air pollutants' dispersion ...

[ 3 ] - Evaluation Euro IV of effectiveness in transportation systems of Tehran on air quality: Application of IVE model

The quick growth of vehicles is due to fast urbanization in mega cities during last decades. This phenomenon has serious impacts on air quality, as emission from mobile vehicles is the major source of air pollution. As a result, any attempt to reduce the emitted air pollutants is needed. This study aims at improving the fuel quality in transporting system with particular emphasis on taxis in Te...

[ 4 ] - Identification of the sources of dust storms in the City of Ahvaz by HYSPLIT

Dust particles have dangerous impacts on human health, the environment, and the economy. Recently dust storms, originating from Arabian countries, have increased remarkably, affecting western and central parts of Iran.HYSPLIT model and the mean monthly maps of AAI (Absorbing Aerosol Index), surface skin temperature, and top soil layer moisture from OMI (Ozone Measurement Instrument) have been u...

[ 9 ] - Verification of IVE Model for SAIPA Co. Fleet Emission

To determine the amount of air pollutants, produced by Iranian automakers, and compare it with old and retrofitted vehicles have become one of the important tools of urban management. The present research uses International Vehicle Emission (IVE) modeling software in order to verify SAIPA Co. fleet emissions, based on Euro 4 emission standard (SAIPA Co. recognized as a superior Iranian brand in...

[ 11 ] - بررسی توزیع غلظت آلاینده NOX خروجی از دودکش‌های نیروگاه منتظری اصفهان با استفاده از مدل ترکیبی WRF-CALPUFF

در این پژوهش با استفاده از همبسته سازی مدل عددی هواشناسی WRF با مدل پراکنش آلودگی هوای CALPUFF به شبیه‌سازی توزیع غلظت آلاینده‌های هوای NOX خروجی از دودکش‌های نیروگاه منتظری اصفهان در دو بازه 20 روزه از فصل‌های سرد و گرم سال 2014 پرداخته شده و سپس با استفاده از آنالیز آماری توانایی مدل در شبیه‌سازی داده‌ها، مورد ارزیابی قرارگرفته است. نتایج شاخص‌های آماری به کاررفته در این پژوهش بر اساس معیارها...

[ 12 ] - ارزیابی عملکرد مدل یکپارچه WRF/CALMET در توسعه میدان باد ورودی به مدل‌های کیفیت هوا

در این مطالعه به بررسی کارایی و سودمندی یکپارچه‌سازی مدل WRF با مدل CALMET برای تولید میدان بادی با دقت بالا در ناحیه‌ای به مرکزیت شهر تهران و در بازه زمانی 5 روزه، از پنجم تا دهم ژانویه سال 2014 پرداخته‌شده است. در حالت اول، میدان باد سه‌بعدی منطقه با استفاده از مدل WRF پردازش‌شده و به‌عنوان حدس اولیه در اختیار مدل CALMET قرار گرفت. در مرحله دوم، مدل WRF کنار گذاشته شد و داده‌های هواشناسی سطحی...
