A new formulation of the probability density function in random walk models for atmospheric dispersion

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    In this model for atmospheric dispersion particles are simulated by the Langevin Equation, which is a stochastic differential equation. It uses the probability density function (PDF) of the vertical velocity fluctuations as input. The PDF is constructed as an expansion after Hermite polynomials. In several previous works where the PDF was expressed this way, further use was hampered by the fact that the PDF takes negative values for a range of velocities. This problem is overcome in the present formulation
