Inverse Modelling of Atmospheric Trace Substances on the Regional Scale with Lagrangian Models

Abstract

Measurements can not only be used as stand-alone data or for model evaluation. If we trust the measured data and our models sufficiently well, we can use them to infer source properties. The method to do this is called inverse modelling; it is an optimisation technique. Sources (or source parameters) are adjusted so that the differences between model output and
