Providing the capability to predict the transport, dispersion and chemistry of substances released into the atmosphere.
The Atmospheric Dispersion and Composition Group carries out research into atmospheric dispersion aimed at improving numerical models for predicting the transport, dispersion, air chemistry and deposition of atmospheric particles and gases. Outputs are particularly applicable for Government emergency response and use by regulatory bodies.
The Met Office Atmospheric Dispersion Group have won the Science, Engineering & Technology Award at the prestigious Civil Service Awards.
