Mesoscale Flow and Pollutant Dispersion Modelling from Industrial Emissions at a Complex Mediterranean Site A contribution to subproject CAPMAN S. Finardi*, A. Marzorati\ A.

This system is being applied to a NW Italian site along the Mediterranean coast (Fig. 1), where a thermal power plant is located near to the town of Savona and close to very complex orography. Complex flow structures characterised by periodic reversal of the wind direction originate here due to the mesoscale atmospheric circulation generat
