MATHEW as applied in the AirQUIS System. Model description.

Abstract

The diagnostic wind field model MATHEW (Sherman, 1978; Foster et al., 1995) is presently used as wind field generator for the Air Quality Information System, AirQUIS. In this technical report a brief mathematical description of MATHEW is presented. In addition a detailed description of the procedure for transferring the MATHEW calculated wind into the grid system of the dispersion model (AirQUIS/EPISODE) is presented
