Short summary
A rigorous methodology is presented to assess numerical integration schemes for stochastic models in atmospheric dispersion known as Lagrangian particle dispersion models. A series of one-dimensional test problems modelling dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer is used to evaluate commonly used stochastic integration schemes. The results allow for optimal time-step selection for each scheme and recommendations to be made for use in operational models.
