Résumé

A key issue in the survey or analysis of pollution episodes lies in the documentation of the turbulent dispersion and transport of the pollutant in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). Usually these processes are investigated with numerical modeling. Actually with the rapid development of UHF wind profilers able to provide wind components, turbulent variables, mixing height with a fine time and vertical resolution in the ABL, we can expect in a very near future the set up of regional profiler networks devoted to real time pollution monitoring. Toward this expectation we present and discuss a methodology, based on measurements made by a wind-profiler mesoscale network, which retrieves the 3D wind field (linear part) used to derive any type of air parcel trajectories. The technique is applied to observations collected during the ESCOMPTE campaign, devoted to pollution studies, which took place in France in the early summer 2001 in the Marseille region, along the Mediterranean coast. In situ aircraft measurements and constant volume balloon trajectories are used to compare and verify the performance of this based-radar methodology during sea and land breeze events. These cases studies, characterized by rapid temporal evolution and important spatial variations of the atmospheric fields, are particularly instructive in the analysis of the potentiality of the technique
