Meteorological and atmospheric diffusion modelling for air pollution forecasting

Author(s): J.A. Souto, V. Perez-Munuzuri, F.L. Ludwig & J.J. Casares

Abstract:
A software package has been developed to predict the ground level concentration, glc, of pollutants in areas close to industrial sites.

The area under consideration is characterized by steep hills and sea inlets surrounded by cliffs, consequently affecting significantly the wind direction and, therefore the plume transport and pollutants' glc.

The model performs a 24-hour prediction of the plume transport based on a discrete Gaussian distribution model (adaptive plume model) and a meteorological prediction model. The package is running, on a trial basis, at a Power Plant.

The relative quantities of local high sulphur brown coal and imported low sulphur sub-bituminous coal to be burned in the units, wil...
