The characteristics of air pollution in
Tarragona (Spain) were investigated. Tarragona has an important petrochemical
industry in a coastal region with a complex terrain. The numerical study was
made in sea breeze conditions with a three-dimensional mesoscale model. Temporal
and spatial variations of the wind fields have been used in the Eulerian
equation for a non-reactive pollutant. The results of this study reveal the
complexity of the dispersion patterns due to the combined effects of the sea
breeze circulation and the orography. This work presents a comparison between
the model output and the observed wind data by sodar and surface wind
measurements. The evaluation shows that the model is capable of providing very
realistic wind fields within this domain. |
