Abstract
In this paper we develop advanced multidimensional sensitivity analysis, based on some innovative stochastic approaches for performing air pollution modelling on a large-scale model of long-range transport of air pollutants. The Unified Danish Eulerian Model (UNI-DEM) is a very important mathematical model, and can be applied in many different studies related to damaging effects caused by high air pollution levels. We shall use it in this paper to get a reliable answer to a some very important questions regrading environmental protection. We develop some advanced Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods, based on special lattice and digital sequences. In this paper we will improve the digital ecosystem modeling by improving the existence stochastic approaches. The computational efficiency (in terms of relative error and computational time) of the advanced Monte Carlo algorithms for multidimensional numerical integration has been studied to analyze the sensitivity of UNI-DEM model output to variation of input emissions of the anthropogenic pollutants and of rates of several chemical reactions. The algorithms will be applied to compute global Sobol sensitivity measures corresponding to the influence of several input parameters on the concentrations of important air pollutants. The study will be done for the areas of several European cities with different geographical locations.
