Abstract: Over the past few years, the so-called Model Validation Kit has been the basis for much work on evaluation of atmospheric point source dispersion models. The kit has recently been enhanced with a supplement which represents urban conditions (experimental data from Indianapolis, USA). A change of methodology is under consideration, based on the concept of near centreline concentrations. The paper examines some consequences of such a change in methodology.

Keywords: atmospheric dispersion models; model evaluation; model validation kit; near centreline concentrations.
