Overview

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of theGeophysical Monograph Series, Volume 200. Trajectory-based ( Lagrangian ) atmospheric transportand dispersion modeling has gained in popularity and sophisticationover the previous several decades. It is common practice now forresearchers around the world to apply Lagrangian models to a widespectrum of issues. Lagrangian Modeling of the Atmosphere is a comprehensivevolume that includes sections on Lagrangian modeling theory, modelapplications, and tests against observations. Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of theGeophysical Monograph Series. Comprehensive coverage of trajectory-based atmosphericdispersion modeling Important overview of a widely used modeling tool Sections look at modeling theory, application of models, andtests against observations
