英文摘要:
This paper focuses on the observed and model-predicted rooftop concentrations on very tall buildings at distances less than a few hundred meters downwind of near-surface releases in built-up urban centers. These results are important when public health must be protected in populated urban areas with deliberate or accidental releases of toxic chemicals, or with significant traffic emissions. Observations of tracer concentrations taken at seven samplers on skyscraper rooftops (113m
