Abstract

A Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) driven by velocity fields from large-eddy simulations (LESs) is used to determine the mean and variability of plume dispersion at local and regional scales in a highly convective boundary layer. Comparison of the LPDM-LES results with data from two field experiments shows that they match the observations reasonably well.
