Resumo: This work describes the statistical properties of a Convective Boundary Layer (CBL) and the associated turbulent transport of a passive and inert pollutant, continuously emitted in the atmosphere by an area-source on the surface. The CBL flow and properties are simulating with a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model. To assure the development of a quasi-steady turbulent regime, both the stability parameter and the Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) criteria were applied to LES with similar results. The vertical structure of the pollutant concentration, potential temperature associated with vertical turbulent fluxes and variances are consistent with the mixed layer similarity predictions. Both the pollutant concentration and the vertical wind skewness fluctuations are associated with the updrafts and downdrafts distributions, emphasizing the importance of the entrainment in the cleaning of the CBL.
