This session will be hosted in collaboration with the AMS Board on the Urban Environment. The focus of this joint session will be on the following two aspects:

(1) Development and applications of models for simulating airborne pollutant transport and dispersion in the urban environment, including but not limited to Lagrangian particle models, Gaussian plume models, large-eddy simulations, RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations) models, WRF-Chem, and other practical models.

(2) Observations and monitoring of air pollution in the urban environment, including but not limited to those based on wind tunnel or water channel experiments, scale model experiments, field campaigns, long-term observations, and remotely sensed data.

Especially, this session encourages submissions on advances in modeling and monitoring the impact of complex urban geometry/landscapes, such as urban vegetation, on pollutant transport and dispersion.
