Atmospheric dispersion
EPISODE
EPISODE is a city-scale 3D-grid Eulerian numerical model with embedded sub-grid gaussian plume and parameterized models for the estimation of refined point ambient concentrations.

Models for atmospheric and environmental research
Modelling is an integral element of the work at NILU. Over the last few decades, scientists at NILU have both developed and applied a wide variety of models related to the atmosphere.

A practical catalogue for NILU research
We present both models that have been fully or to a large extent developed at NILU and modelling systems that were developed elsewhere but are under heavy use at our institute.

Atmospheric dispersion
Transport, transformation, and the movement of pollutants through the atmosphere.
Atmospheric dispersion
EPISODE-PIG
We developed a special version of the EPISODE model which allows for the simulation of reactive plumes by using a Lagrangian (FLEXPART based) module for the reactive plume dispersion.
