TL;DR: In this paper, a range of applications of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), a comprehensive mesoscale meterological modeling system, are discussed, including large eddy simulations (LES) and simulations of thunderstorms, cumulus fields, mesoscales, convective systems, mid-latitude cirrus clouds, winter storms, mechanically and thermally-forced meso-scale systems, and mesoscopic atmospheric disperision.

TL;DR: In this paper, coupled meteorological and Lagrangian particle models are used to examine horizontal dispersion over one to two diurnal cycles, and the results of the experiments indicate that vertical shear in the horizontal wind produced by diurnal and/or inertial oscillations in conjunction with or followed by vertical PBL mixing are capable of maintaining plume growth rates which are nearly linear with diffusion times up to 48 h.

TL;DR: In this article, the operating ranges of mesoscale numerical models and meteorological wind tunnels for sea and land-breeze simulations are defined based on a review of the theoretical and practical limitations of these two approaches.

TL;DR: Turner et al. as discussed by the authors summarized the current air quality regulatory models are summarized in Turner et al., 1989, and concluded that these models have been applied more to conserve legal consistency over time than to accurately represent atmospheric flow, particularly in complex terrain and coastal zones.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoscale atmospheric dispersion modeling system consisting of a three-dimensional mesoscalescale meteorological model and a 3-dimensional Lagrangian particle dispersion model were employed to make the estimates for a realistic worst-case summer meteorological scenario.
