Atmospheric Dispersion - Initiative on Harmonisation within Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling for Regulatory Purposes

external URL: http://www.dmu.dk/AtmosphericEnvironment/harmoni.htm

In 1991, a European initiative was launched for increased cooperation and standardisation of atmospheric dispersion models for regulatory purposes. A "new generation" of models is emerging with physically more justifiable parametrisations of dispersion processes. A need was felt for these new models to be developed in a well-organized manner and turned into practical, generally accepted tools fit for the various needs of decision-makers. On this background it was decided to organize a series of workshops to promote the use of new-generation models within atmospheric dispersion modelling, and in general improve "modelling culture".
