Comparison of two turbulence parameterisations for the simulation of the concentration variance dispersion

In this work, we compare two different parameterisations for the wind velocity-component standard deviations. The first one is the (Hanna 1982) parameterisation, while the second is the (Scire et al. 2000) parameterisation, which provide the proper values and vertical structure for the wind standard deviations in the convective, neutral and stable layers, needed as input the Lagrangian stochastic model SPRAYWEB. The results of the model simulations carried out using the two parameterisations are compared, in terms of both mean concentration and concentration standard deviation, by evaluating some statistical indexes and trough scatter- and qq-plots.
