Abstract

A non-reactive air pollution model evaluating ground level concentration is presented. It relies on a new Gaussian formulation (LUPINI R. and TIRABASSI T., J. Appl. Meteor., 20 (1981) 565-570; TIRABASSI T. and RIZZA U., Atmos. Environ., 28 (1994) 611-615) for transport and vertical diffusion in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). In this formulation, the source height is replaced by a virtual height expressed by simple functions of meteorological variables. The model accepts a general profile of wind u(z) and eddy diffusivity coefficient Kz . The lateral dispersion coefficient is based on Taylor’s theory (TAYLOR G. I., Proc. London Math. Soc., 20 (1921) 196-204). The turbulence in the ABL is subdivided into various regimes, each characterized by different parameters for length and velocity scales. The model performances under unstable conditions have been tested utilizing two different data sets.
