The results indicated that the atmospheric dispersion in this area is determined both by synoptic scale system and land-sea breeze circulation. Spatial variation of wind field is not obvious in synoptic scale system situation, which leads to the straight dispersion plume. Temporal variation of wind field, particularly the wind direction transition caused by transient of land-sea breezes is obvious. The method of random walk simulation better reflects the characteristics of the air pollutants transportation and diffusion. The atmospheric diffusion parameters obtained with numerical simulation experiment may reflect well the characteristics of the air diffusion in local area.Read More
