Long-range Atmospheric Transport of Persistent Organic Pollutants, I: Description of surface-atmosphere exchange modules and implementation in EUROS
Concerns a description of a model for the exchange of gaseous Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) at land and sea surfaces and its application in the Eulerian air pollution transport model EUROS.
The Urban Air Quality Assessment Model (UAQAM) calculates the city concentration caused by city emissions themselves, the so-called city background concentration. Three versions of the model for…
Evaluation of the Netherlands Groundwater Model, LGM, for calculating pathlines, travel times and concentration at abstraction wells
The merits of the quasi-three-dimensional RIVM groundwater model, LGM (version 2) were evaluated for the calculation of pathlines, travel times and solute breakthrough curves at abstraction wells. The…
