Determination of the Substitute Anemometer Position for AUSTAL When Using Wind and Turbulence Fields from MISKAM

For dispersion calculations in accordance with the Technical Instructions on Air Quality Control (TA-Luft), meteorological data is generally used that is either measured at the site or, if no on-site measurements are available, transferred there (QPR) or based on model calculations.

Meteorological data has to be transferred in accordance with guideline VDI 3783 Part 20 (2017). Since meteorological data is not always available in the desired quality and may not be representative for the location, especially in complex terrain, modeled data based on (usually prognostic) model calculations has been used more and more frequently.

Requirements for procedures for generating modeled data sets and for their quality assurance are to be described in guideline VDI 3783 Part 22.
