MESOSCALE SIMULATIONS OF FUGITIVE PM10 EMISSION FROM HARBOUR ACTIVITIES IN COMPLEX TERRAIN

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

A modelling system consisting of the Weather Research and Forecasting model to simulate the meteorology and CALPUFF for pollutants dispersion is used in this study to simulate the impact of fugitive PM10 emissions related to harbour activities in nearby populated areas. Results for wind speed and direction show that the model performs well in the area, although some differences exist. PM10 concentrations show high differences respect to observations. Binarizing the PM10 signal points to the high uncertainty in emission factors as the main source of error.
