Statistical comparison of modelled and SODAR measured turbulence data in a coastal area

Abstract: The standard deviations of wind components (σ u , σ v , σ w) are used by Particle Dispersion (PD) models to calculate the random motion causing the dispersion of pollutants. The goodness of concentration results is known to be dependent on the accuracy of the evaluations of wind component fluctuations. A study has been conducted to investigate the ability of the boundary layer formulations used in the PD model SPRAY in estimating the actual variance of wind components. A comparison of the σ w and u * data calc… Show more

“…They are considered useful tools to investigate lower troposphere behaviour and structure (Emeis and Schäfer, 2006;Emeis et al, 2007), turbulence and dispersion variables (French, 2002;Engelbart et al, 2007;Gariazzo et al, 2007) and also pollutant transport (Augustin et al, 2006). In this paper a Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) sodar was used to investigate the less known part of the low atmosphere, which extends beyond the heights of usual meteorological towers.…”
