  3. 2. Sensitivity Analysis of the Mesoscale Air Pollution Model TAPM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : David Hirdman; [2006]
    Keywords : air pollution simulation; model evaluation; land-air interaction;

    Abstract : Known problems with the air pollution model, TAPM’s meteorological predictions over the Canterbury Plains, New Zealand, has been its lack of ability to simulate low nocturnal stagnant wind speeds, certain wind field directions as well as greatly overestimating the sensible heat flux. The aim of this thesis has been to reduce these known disagreements along with other meteorological parameters in attempt to optimize TAPM’s predictions for New Zealand conditions. READ MORE
