Introduction
ADMLC has been investigating and reporting on atmospheric dispersion modelling methods for over 25 years. This website introduces its work and provides access to its publications.
Membership of ADMLC is wide ranging and includes representatives from UK government organisations, private industry and consultancies (see About Us).
Events
Details of past and future seminars and webinars can be found on the Events page.
Current work
CERC is currently undertaking a project for ADMLC entitled “A review of methods used to assess the performance of atmospheric dispersion models”. The project includes a literature review, a set of model evaluation case studies and a final project report.
Note that the organisations represented on the Committee pay an annual subscription which is used to fund areas of work agreed by the Committee, and to support in part its secretariat, provided by UKHSA. Details of the projects the Committee would like to fund are published under the Work page of this website.
The Committee is also interested in suggestions for new work from non ADMLC members who can contact ADMLC using the email address admlc@ukhsa.gov.uk.
New work
The Committee has identified a number of topics where it sees significant value in further work, and hopes to fund new work on these topics in the future. Details can be found on the Work page of this website.
In 2025 ADMLC supported a model intercomparison study organised by RIVM which considered differences in concentration and deposition predictions of ammonia and nitrogen oxides at local scales. The reports from this study can be found using the following links:
Uncertainty in calculated nitrogen deposition from individual sources. (OPS-LT model)
Modelling reactive nitrogen concentrations and deposition on a local scale. Comparison of eight models and their ensembles with three measurement campaigns | RIVM; https://www.rivm.nl/bibliotheek/rapporten/2026-0041.pdf
The Committee is interested in suggestions for new work from non ADMLC members who can contact ADMLC using the email address admlc@ukhsa.gov.uk.
