Validation and application of obstacle-resolving urban dispersion models

The development of micro-scale meteorological models has progressed in recent years. Some of them are already commercially available. With little hesitation, consulting engineers apply them to complex real-world problems. How accurate are the results? Using the example of urban dispersion models, th...

Zusammenfassung:	The development of micro-scale meteorological models has progressed in recent years. Some of them are already commercially available. With little hesitation, consulting engineers apply them to complex real-world problems. How accurate are the results? Using the example of urban dispersion models, the paper tries to give a critical assessment of the present ‘state of application’.
