Cylindrical models, although scarcely used, are helpful tools in atmospheric science applications such as siting wind machines or setting up atmospheric pollution monitors. In this paper, three simple models have been successfully compared. The first, a second-order model, is an addition of two...

Adaptive Polar Sampling is proposed as an algorithm where random drawings are directly generated from the target function (posterior) in all-but-one directions of the parameter space. The method is based on the mixed integration technique of Van Dijk, Kloek & Boender (1985) but extends this one...
