Abstract
A Lagrangian particle model is used to study the dispersion of pollutants released in two different tracer experiments: Prairie Grass and Copenhagen. The model is based on a generalized form of the Langevin equation. Turbulence inputs are parameterized according to a scheme able to generate continuous values in all stability conditions and in all heights in the planetary boundary layer. Predicted values of ground-level concentration agree quite well with observed ones. The major progress of this paper is as follows: For air quality modeling it is highly necessary to include a parameterization that allows a correct description of the turbulent transport of contaminants released simultaneously from low and tall sources.
