Lab Description

Investigators from the Atmospheric, Dispersion, and Air Quality Modeling Program have been conducting research and application studies focused on observations, modeling, and real-time forecasting. The scope includes atmospheric, dispersion, and air-quality processes over complex topography and coastal areas. In particular, the team is developing, applying, and evaluating high-resolution mesoscale meteorological models as well as regulatory and advanced atmospheric dispersion models. One example is a Lagrangian Random Particle Dispersion Model that has been developed at DRI and applied to complex coastal and inland environments.
