Back attribution techniques for source allocation
Forward modellingFollowing A.Manning et al (JGR, 2003) a forward approach has been implementedA constant release was emitted from 780 cells (100 km x 100 km) covering whole Europe >>Data measured at Mt Cimone and modelled contributions of each cell to Mt Cimone station were used for deriving back-attribution of source strengths through a stepwise regression procedure >>

ConclusionsThe proposed procedure has been shown to be able to reproduce “simple” cases. However, so far it is not fully reliable in very complex situations, as that of Monte Cimone, characterised by a complex meteorological and source field.
However, improvements in the description of atmospheric circulation as well as availability of longer time series, could make this technique more reliable in localisation and quantification of source regions
