MEPDIM. Version 1.0. Model description.

Abstract

Norwegian Institute of Air Research (NILU) has developed a Meteorological Preprosessor for Dispersion Modelling (MEPDIM). Based on tower measurements and the energy budget of the atmosphere, basic parameters for modelling atmospheric dispersion are calculated by parameterization of the structure of the atmospheric boundary layer. The theory is based on the methods of van Ulden and Holtslag.
