| Zusammenfassung |
| The possibility to calculate linear-source receptor
relationships for the transport of atmospheric trace substances with a Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) running in backward mode
is shown and presented with many tests and examples. This mode requires only minor modifications of the forward LPDM. The derivation
includes the action of sources and of any first-order processes (transformation with prescribed rates, dry and wet deposition,
radioactive decay, etc.). The backward mode is computationally advantageous if the number of receptors is less than the number of sources
considered. The combination of an LPDM with the backward (adjoint) methodology is especially attractive for the application to point
measurements, which can be handled without artificial numerical diffusion. Practical hints are provided for source-receptor calculations
with different settings, both in forward and backward mode. The equivalence of forward and backward calculations is shown in simple
tests for release and sampling of particles, pure wet deposition, pure convective redistribution and realistic transport over a short
distance. Furthermore, an application example explaining measurements of Cs-137 in Stockholm as transport from areas contaminated heavily in
the Chernobyl disaster is included. |
