Applications to emergency preparedness for urban areas

This Section has been prepared in cooperation with the Danish ARGOS team J.H. Sorensen (DMI), S. Thykier-Nielsen, T. Mikkelsen (Riso NL), S. Hoe (DEMA) and A. Mahura (DMI). 

The main problem in forecasting urban air contamination (UAC) is the simulation of accidental release dispersion in the urban canopy or episodes with high pollutant 

The applicability of different urban wind-flow and meteorological models for UAC emergency modelling depends on types of the risk sources and releases, the scale of the dangers, and purposes of the model use (i.e. for emergency forecasting or risk assessments).
