High spatial and temporal variability of dry deposition in a coastal region

A real meteorological situation characterized by strong spatial and temporal variability of the meteorological fi elds in a coastal region of eastern Denmark is examined in view of the transport of a passive tracer and dry deposition. Model simulations using a full mesoscale NWP model (COAMPSTM) at different horizontal resolutions are performed. A realistic simulation showed that the differences in the amount of dry deposited matter can reach one order of magnitude and larger, during the period of one afternoon, depending on the model horizontal resolution. In addition, the results of an idealized experiment with straight coastline indicate that the horizontal model resolution alone is responsible for most of the differences. This study confi rms the importance of high spatial and temporal resolution modelling for environmental applications.

Ovaj se rad, kao i onaj u Bound.-Layer Meteorol. 2005., od Parmhed Oskara, Kos Igora i Grisogono Branka, odnosi na obalnu meteorologiju i time je tematski vezan uz Jadran te atmosferske valove i turbulenciju.
