PROBABILISTIC EVALUATION OF MODELS FOR THE ATMOSPHERIC DISPERSION OF EFFLUENTS RELEASED FROM A COMPLEX SITE

The validation and reliability of atmospheric dispersion models are important concerns for both model users and developers. Numerous field experiments have been conducted to address these issues of model reliability, with the results of the field experiments often being used to evaluate differences between the performance of different models (e.g. Hanna et al., 2001; Hill et al.
