On February 14th 2017, the Bolzano Tracer Experiment (BTEX) was conducted in Bolzano, a town in the Eastern Italian Alps. The experiment consisted in two 1-h-long releases of a tracer from the stack of the local incinerator plant and in the measurements of tracer ground concentrations in the surroundings. Before and during the releases, a modelling chain was run in order to have a real-time forecast of both meteorological conditions and tracer concentrations at the ground. The experiment was conducted in the framework of a wider project, supported by the incinerator company and the local environmental protection agency, with the final aim of locating a permanent air-quality stations network for monitoring purposes. This contribution aims at presenting the experimental setup, the data collected and the results from the numerical modelling chain.

Abstract

On February 14th 2017, the Bolzano Tracer Experiment (BTEX) was conducted in Bolzano, a town in the Eastern Italian Alps. The experiment consisted in two 1-h-long releases of a tracer from the stack of the local incinerator plant and in the measurements of tracer ground concentrations in the surroundings. Before and during the releases, a modelling chain was run in order to have a real-time forecast of both meteorological conditions and tracer concentrations at the ground. The experiment was conducted in the framework of a wider project, supported by the incinerator company and the local environmental protection agency, with the final aim of locating a permanent air-quality stations network for monitoring purposes. This contribution aims at presenting the experimental setup, the data collected and the results from the numerical modelling chain.
