Tracer emissions inferred from a backward Lagrangian stochastic dispersionmodel: a validation study

摘要

A dispersion model provides a useful tool for estimating gas emissions. Combining predictions of dispersion from a source, and observations of downwind concentration C, one can diagnose source emission rate Q. Compared with other techniques, the dispersion-model-based approach has the benefit of experimental simplicity, flexibility in the type and location of the C measurement, and applicability (in principle) even in disturbed flows.
