Riassunto

The 34 papers, including a conclusion, represent most of contributions to the workshop, which drew scientists from 23 countries in Europe, North America, and Asia to discuss the role of large mathematical models in resolving difficult problems connected with protecting the environment, in particular air pollution. Among their topics are parallel algorithms for some optimization problems, long-term calculations with large models, experimental results and the modelling of mixing height in coastal areas, aerosol modelling within the EURAD model system, atmospheric mechanisms of admixtures transfer, pollution transmission in the air, nonlinear assignment problems, preliminary results of the neural network analysis of sulfur dioxide distribution over Istanbul, and a collaborative framework for simulations.

Recensione

`... this book is a valuable addition to the issues and problems associated with large-scale computations in air pollution modelling. It is highly accessible in terms of how it is written, i.e. it is easy to read and should be a first choice as a starting point for reference material.'
World Meteorological Organization Bulletin, 49:3 (2000)
