Education
Experience
Research
Development of numerical models and modeling systems
- Mesoscale Dispersion Modeling System (MDMS) on a PC in
1980's; main components: 3D mesoscale meteorological
model (MESO), Lagrangian particle dispersion (LPD) model
and Eulerian grid dispersion (EGD) model.
- HYPACT (Hybrid Particle and Concentration Transport)
model (dispersion code designed to work with CSU RAMS).
- Receptor-oriented dispersion modeling approach using
adjoint diffusion equations and backward particle
trajectories.
- Computationally efficient version of Lagrangian particle
model for regional applications.
- Lagrangian particle model coupled with LES models.
Selected applications of numerical modeling
- Investigation of urban effects on the structure of
atmospheric boundary layer.
- Simulations of sea breeze circulations in a coastal
zone of the Baltic Sea.
- Regional modeling of air pollution transport in the
southwestern United States using CSU RAMS and LPD model
for the entire year of 1992 (project MOHAVE). Source- and
receptor-oriented dispersion modeling approach.
- Application of Lagrangian particle model for analysis
and visualization of output from different meteorological
modeling systems (local and mesoscale circulations, LES).
- Mesoscale modeling of transport and deposition of heavy
metals in the southern Poland.
- Coupled LES & Lagrangian particle modeling: dispersion
in cloud topped nocturnal boundary layer; footprints
calculations; Lagrangian statistics of turbulence.
- Assimilation of satellite information (NDVI), NEXRAD precipitation,
and soil moisture data in mesoscale modeling and forecasting.
Analysis of field experiments
- Validation of MESO and LPD models with the aid of
Øresund tracer experiment data.
- Design and analysis of meteorological and tracer
experiments for the Zarnowiec nuclear power plant under
construction in the northern Poland.

tracer of opportunity (halocarbons) and controled tracers in
the southwestern United States.
