Abstract: This study presents the performance of the Lagrangian particle dispersion model DIPCOT-II (DIsPersion over COmplex Terrain) at the Kincaid field experiment. The validation of the model is performed on the basis of the maximum arcwise and near centreline concentrations using the bootstrap re-sampling procedure and the variation of the model residuals.

Keywords: Kincaid experiment; Lagrangian particle dispersion model; validation.
