中文摘要: Accurate and rapid predictions of air pollutant dispersion are important for effective emergency responses after sudden air pollution accidents (SAPA). Notably, dispersion parameters (σ) are the key variables that influence the simulation accuracy of dispersion models. Empirical dispersion schemes based on power-law formulas are probably appropriate choices for simulations in SAPA because of the requirement for only routine meteorological data. However, performance comparisons of different schemes are lacking. In this study, the performances during simulations of air pollutant dispersion of four typical empirical parameterised schemes, i.e. BRIGGS, SMITH, Pasquill-Gifford, and Chinese National Standard (CNS), were investigated based on the GAUSSIAN plume model with datasets for the classic Prairie Grass experiments, 1956. The performances when simulating peak and overall concentrations in different Pasquill atmospheric stability classes (A, B, C, D, E, F) were quantitatively analysed through different statistical approaches. Results showed that the performances of four schemes for peak and overall concentrations were basically consistent. Scheme CNS in unstable atmospheric conditions (A, B, and C) performed significantly better than the others according to performance criteria, which included the lowest mean of absolute value of fractional biases, lowest normalised mean square errors, and largest mean values of the fraction within a factor of two when predicting peak and overall concentrations, respectively. Schemes BRIGGS and P-G exhibited slightly better performances during the neutral condition (D) followed by scheme CNS. Schemes SMITH and CNS demonstrated slight merits in predicting concentrations compared to the other schemes during stable conditions (E and F). As a whole, scheme CNS generally performed well for the different atmospheric stability classes. These analysis results can help to fill in the data gaps and improve our understanding of the influence of typical power-law function schemes on simulations of air pollutant dispersion. The results are expected to provide scientific support for air pollution predictions, especially during emergency responses to SAPA. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd Citation statistics:
