This paper reviews activities over the past nine years involving the evaluation, verification and development of atmospheric transport and diffusion models applied to air pollution assessments in complex/ mountainous terrain settings. Results from experiments performed at different complex terrain settings under stably stratified flow conditions have been emphasized. Comparisons of model predictions to observations are made. Physical modeling laboratory tests simulating flow conditions for full-scale experiments complement the data bases and provide information on systematic variations of modeling parameters and input conditions for mathematical model development purposes. Principal findings from these and other experiments on specific technical issues are summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
