Given the complexity, some form of mechanism-based modelling is required to understand or predict emissions in given circumstances. Approaches to modelling emissions from rice are reviewed by van der Gon et al. (2000). A complete... 

A quantitative expression for the introduction of primary pollutants into the atmosphere is basic to any air quality model. Emission is most generally described as a geographic, temporal, and chemical distribution that requires a rather massive array of numbers. Some simple models need only the aggregated numbers found in ordinary tabulations...

The development of a natural sulfur emissions inventory for the contiguous U. S. is a necessary step toward understanding the natural component or acid deposition on a regional and national scale. A county length scale and a monthly time scale constitute appropriate levels of resolution for regional modeling. Emission estimates are based on the emission rate data described by Lamb et al. (1) which are limited to measurements of natural sulfur emissions in Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina, Washington and Idaho. The uncertainty associated with this inventory is carefully considered by analyses of model sensitivity.

Another strong factor is age. Inasmuch as formaldehyde emission is due to the diffusion of residual material from the center core, the emission is proportional to the concentration, and decreases as the concentration decreases. If all formaldehyde were present as formaldehyde gas, or methyIenegIycoI, the emission process should be strictly exponential. It has indeed been proposed that one can model emission according to ... 

Amts et al. (1982) have measured the dispersion of alpha-pinene from a loblolly pine forest with the help of SF6, which was released inside the forest and served as a tracer for air motions. Both SF6 and alpha-pinene were measured downwind at a number of receptor sites. An atmospheric plume dispersion model was used to describe the observations and to infer emission rates. Losses of alpha-pinene due to reactions with ozone and OH radicals were incorporated into the model. Emission rates derived ranged from 11 to 19 pg/m2 min. No direct comparison was made with the rate of alpha-pinene emissions from three branches by the bag enclosure technique. Instead, available data from Rasmussen (1972) and Zimmerman (1979b) were used to estimate the rate expected for this particular forest site at the temperatures encountered during the measurements. The values obtained were 14-35 p.g/m2 min and 47 p.g/m2 min, respectively. Although the alpha-pinene fluxes inferred from the tracer release approach are lower, the differences are not great enough in view of the large variability of actual emission rates to raise doubts about the applicability of the bag enclosure technique. 

Finally, we estimate that the source becomes optically thick at X Ji 70li. This model is shown in Figure 3. The discrepancy between the model and the observed X = 1 mm flux point is due to our maintaining a dependence in the model emissivity at long wave-... 

Constant emissivities were modeled. Table 2 provides the modeled emissivities and the actual emissivities of the components (approximately).
