ANALYSIS OF THE NLR AIRPORTS POLLUTION DISPERSION MODEL ON SENSITIVITY FOR METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND ON SOURCE MODELING

摘要

The NLR airports pollution dispersion model is analyzed with regard to sensitivity for meteorological parameters and the modeling of the sources of pollution (i.e. airplanes).nIt is found that the weather resolution of the model is satisfactory in view of the present standards of meteorological measurement. Atmospheric stability (Pasqual class) turns out to be the parameter that influences the pollution dispersion most, especially through its influence on vertical dispersion rate. For long term prediction of pollution levels, where mean values of weather parameters are more accurately known, the meteorological modeling is most appropriate.
