In regions as densely populated as Western Europe, prediction of
the ecological implications of pollutant transport are important in
order to minimise damage in the case of accidents, and to evaluate
the possible influence of existing or planned sources. In most
cases, such predictions depend on high-speed computation. The
present textbook presents a mathematically explicit introduction in
eight chapters: 1: An introduction to the basics of fluid dynamics
of the atmosphere and the local events and mesoscale processes. 2:
The types of PDEs describing atmospheric flows for limited area
models, the problem of appropriate boundary conditions describing
the topographical constraints, and well-posedness. 3:
Thermodynamics of the atmosphere, dry and wet, its stability, and
radiation processes, budgets and the influence of their sum. 4:
Scaling and similarity laws for stable and convective turbulent
atmospheric boundary layers and the influence of inhomogeneous
terrain on the advection and the vertical dispersion, and the
method of large eddy simulation. 5: Statistical processes in
turbulent dispersion, turbulent diffusion and chemical reactions in
fluxes. 6: Theoretical modelling of diffusion and dispersion of
pollutant gases. 7: The influence of urban heat production on local
climate. 8: Atmospheric inversion layers and lapping inversion, the
stable boundary layer and nocturnal inversion.
