2 Outline Obectives Focus : concentration fluctuations Overview : other activities

3 Animation Wind tunnel Obectives Develop an integrated modelling tool for studies of the atmospheric environment at local scale Dispersion of pollutants and its impact on population and environment in urban and around industrial areas. Other impact studies : reactive pollutants, particle formation and dispersion, noise propagation Accidental releases, Population comfort (wind and turbulence prediction), extreme winds, wind energy...
