Plume rise is a key variable in air quality modelling. The plume rise model implemented in CSIRO’s The Air Pollution Model (TAPM) was implemented in MATLAB, and the plume rise through modelled and observed boundary layers compared for an overnight strongly stable period. Contrary to expectations, the plume rise height was similar in the modelled and observed boundary layers despite a large diff...

The Western Treatment Plant (WTP) is one of Australia’s largest and most unique wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) treating over 52% of Melbourne’s sewage in a series of large lagoons. WTP has an existing, comprehensive Environmental Improvement Plan in place, which includes an ongoing focus on odour management in the context of a recently completed significant program of upgrade works that hav...

Abstract Knowledge of the timing closure Meso-Tethys Ocean as represented by Bangong–Nujiang Suture Zone, i.e., Lhasa-Qiangtang collision, is critical for understanding Mesozoic tectonics Tibetan Plateau. But this hotly debated; existing suggestions vary from Middle Jurassic (ca. 166 Ma) to Late Cretaceous 100 Ma). In study, we describe petrology Zhonggang igneous–sedimentary rocks in middle se...

through this article, the distribution of air pollutants in tehran have been simulated based on wind patterns with and without the presence of synoptic by tapm (a meso-scale model). the simulation covers three horizontal resolution domains 30, 15 and 5 kilometers. the pollutants chosen for this are co and pm10 and wind data is 10 meter height level. the result has shown that the model simulated...

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of urban development trends in mobility patterns of a medium sized Portuguese city and air quality consequences, using a sequential modeling process, comprising i) land use and transportation, TRANUS model; ii) road traffic air pollutants emissions, TREM model and; iii) air quality, TAPM model. This integrated methodology was applied to...
