Denote as C s ð t ; u; k; h Þ the concentration of aerosol of the s-th type at the height
h over the point with coordinates (
) at a time moment t. For the Euler-type
model, general equations of aerosol transport in the environment according to ( 5.3 )
have the following form:

where K ˆ , K ʻ , and K h are coef
cients of the turbulent diffusion, E s is the charac-
teristic function of the sources of emission of aerosols of the s-th type, P s is the
operator describing physical and chemical transformations of aerosol, v 1s is the rate
of aerosol washing out with precipitation, v 2s is the rate of dry deposition, V ¼

V h g are the wind speed components.
The model of this type is used to calculate the aerosol concentration in the
atmosphere, as a rule, for the scales of territory exceeding 50 km. Simpli

is made. The calculation scheme can be further simpli

The Euler-type model contains many degrees of freedom including the consid-
eration of various scenarios. The base of knowledge of the simulation system (the
description of ESPAP is given below) contains sets of parameterizations of partial
processes of aerosol transformation, and a concrete choice is made by the user.

matrix structures {A m }. In particular, in the
default
mode
regime the following parameterizations are used.
In accordance with the structure of the identi
er describing the sources of pol-
lution, in each compartment
the passport information about the rates of
emission of the s-th pollutant is put in: minimum and maximum rates E s,min and E s,
max , respectively. In the absence of additional information about some source, the E s
value is calculated according to the procedure of the uniform distribution over the
interval [E s,min ,E s,max ] or another law of distribution is assumed (e.g., the Gauss law).
The functional description for v 1s and v 2s is important, and the model

depends on it. Therefore, many studies have been dedicated to this problem. It has
been proven that the following linear approximation of the functions v 1s and v 2s is
most acceptable:
