The material that appeared in the 1961 article: The Estimation of the Dispersion of Windborne Material, by F. Pasquill was circulated among a number of meteorologists interested in air pollution and dispersion quite some time prior to its publication. Pasquill indicated that the results of investigations at Porton which were also supported by experimental studies in the US form the basis for a tentative system of estimating diffusion in a wide range of meteorological conditions and over distances up to about 100 kilometers. He stated that the purpose of his paper was to review the recent background of theoretical and experimental results, and to give details of the proposed system of calculating the distribution of concentration downwind of a source. An overview is presented of Pasquill`s dispersion scheme.
