Abstract

Atmospheric dispersion modelling refers to the mathematical description of contaminant transport in the atmosphere. Each climate system component operates on a range of characteristic temporal and spatial scales. The knowledge of these scales is necessary for a correct formulation of climate models; the present work emphasis is given on the modelling of the horizontal transport of pollutant by taking basic assumptions for the wind velocity, mass burning rate of pollutant from the source. The primary cause of environmental degradation is human disturbance. The degree of the environmental impact varies with the cause, the habitat, and the plants and animals that inhabit it. This present study is desired to calculate the concentration in horizontal direction of flow of pollutant. As any mathematical models of natural systems, a climate model is a simplification. The degree of accepted simplification determines the complexity of the model and restricts the applicability of the model to certain questions. Hence, the complexity of a chosen model sets the limitations to its application. The quality of a climate model is not judged by the mere number of processes considered, but rather by the quality of how chosen processes and their couplings are reproduced.
