Outdoor sound prediction is both a societal concern and a scientific issue. This paper deals with numerical simulations of micrometeorological (temperature and wind) fields for environmental acoustics. These simulations are carried out using the reference meso-scale meteorological model at the Meteo-France weather agency (Meso-NH). Meso-NH predictions at very fine scales (up to 3 m), including new developments (drag force approach), are validated both numerically and experimentally under stable, unstable and neutral conditions. Then, this information can be used as input data for the acoustic propagation model. The time-domain acoustic model is based on the Transmission Line Matrix method. Its development has also been promoted for application to outdoor sound propagation, i.e. to take into account topography, ground impedance, meteorological conditions, etc. In part 1, the presentation and evaluation of the Transmission Line Matrix method showed the relevance of this method鈥檚 use in the context of environmental acoustics. Finally, simulated noise levels under different propagation conditions were compared to in situ measurements. Satisfactory results were obtained regarding the variability of the observed phenomena.
