Abstract

This study is devoted to a better comprehension of the physical mechanisms associated to inversion layers within deep valleys. The diurnal radiative budget. which acts as the main forcing in the dynamics of the inversion, is 1 hrreforr explicitly taken into account through a soil model (SM2). SM2 is validated on field experiments, and coupled to an atmospherical model ARPS-SM to reproduce the time evolution of the dynamics of a Planetary Boundary Layer. Then. 1 lie destruction an inversion layer within a symetric bidimensionnal valley is simulated with drastic effects on dispersion of scalar. 1 Introduction Air pollution in cities located in deep valleys is mainly due to inte
