Model 1. Exposure to spray drift - Boom Spraying
7.1.1 Model outline& conceptual model A diagram of the conceptual model for the spray drift component, which describes the source and dispersion, is shown in Fig.1. The Silsoe Spray Drift Model (▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2010) is a particle tracking model, which simulates the release of droplets from a moving boom and calculates their trajectory, subject to complex air flows close to the nozzle, and then assumes a random walk further away. This model was used to generate training runs across the range of input variables, from which a series of emulators is developed. A separate emulator was developed for each model output, and for each non-continuous variable. Model outputs are
1. Ground deposits
2. Airborne spray (adult)
3. Airborne spray (child)
4. Inhalation factor (adult)
5. Inhalation factor (child) The non-continuous, or categorical, variables are
1. Spray quality (fine, medium, coarse, very coarse)
2. Crop height (short crop/bare soil, defined as 0.1 m; 0.5 m; 1.0 m; 1.
