Learning unit contents
Theoretical concepts of atmospheric dispersion modelling are presented in a lecture :
Table of contents :
- Introduction of modelling concepts
Spatial and temporal scales
Eulerian and Lagrangian
- Stability of the atmosphere
- Bi-Gaussian model
- ADMS (course exercises and homework)
- PMF (exercises during the course)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The student will have the basic knowledge necessary for the understanding of atmospheric dispersion and the working knowledge of the simple operation of different categories of dispersion models. He/she will be able to use these models for the applications seen in the course and to represent the results of the models in QGIS software.
He/she will have acquired the necessary skills to correctly interpret the results of the modelling.
