Abstract
In the last few decades numerical models that describe the atmospheric circulation and dispersion at various scales have gain increasing consideration not only in the research environment but also in the field of regulatory application. The increasing attention to model use is connected to an improved sophistication of modelling tools for the various atmospheric scales and an increased possibility of exploitation in the field of air quality and atmospheric process study.
