Abstract:
In this paper, intensities of an ensemble of point stationary sources of atmospheric pollutants are determined by values of pollutant concentration measured in several test points. To find the sought characteristics, the method of maximal likelihood was applied. The likelihood function was plotted on the base of results obtained earlier in the authors' study of atmospheric pollutants' concentration. The calculations were performed for a flat underlying surface situated at the latitude of Novosibirsk city. The values of pollutant concentration obtained in solving the "direct" propagation problem were taken as the "measured" values of concentration. According to calculations, this approach turns to be efficient for a rather complicated "inverse" problem.
