HARMO13 CONFERENCE

HARMO13 CONFERENCE

The International Conference on Harmonisation of Atmospheric Dispersion Models Used for Legislative Purposes, which was held in the period June 1- 4, 2010 in Paris, was attended by two associates of the Institute’s Environmental Department, Mag. Rudi VONČINA and Matic IVANČIČ. Matic IVANČIČ was a co-author of the paper “Comparison of different dispersion modelling approaches in a complex terrain” written by Dr. Rahela ŽABKAR, Dr. Jože RAKOVEC and Marko RUS, associates of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Ljubljana. Modelling of air-pollutant dispersion is an important tool used in assessment of impacts of human activities on air quality. It enables detection of pollutant air dispersion and movement at a high spatial and time resolution. The paper provides a comparison between the various Lagrange dispersion models.
