Short summary
In this study, we improve the short-scale dispersion modeling capabilities of the Danish Emergency Response Model of the Atmosphere (DERMA) by developing and implementing a new hybrid particle-puff description of turbulent diffusion and by updating a few other parameterizations in the model. The new model is evaluated against data from three different tracer gas experiments, and the promising results are an important first step towards also using DERMA for short-range dispersion modeling.
