Abstract
ADMS-Urban is based on the Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling System (ADMS), a model developed in the UK by Cambridge Environmental Research Consultants, in collaboration with National Power and the Meteorological Office. Sponsors of the model include the UK regulatory agencies (Environment Agency and Health and Safety Executive). The original industrial source version of ADMS has already been well described elsewhere (Hunt et al., 1988 and Carruthers et al., 1992) and has been the subject of extensive validation (Carruthers et al., 1995 and Carruthers et al., 1997).
