Abstract
This paper shows results of validation of the Atmospheric Dispersion Modell ing System (ADMS) against the Indianapolis dataset, comparing arcwise maxim a and analysing the results using the BOOT statistical package. There is go od agreement between the quality 3 daytime observed and predicted concentra tions. At night-time calculated concentrations depend critically on the val ue of the surface roughness and minimum Monin-Obukhov length.
