Title: Handbook on atmospheric diffusion

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5591108· OSTI ID:5591108

Basic meteorological concepts are covered as well as plume rise, source effects, and diffusion models. Chapters are included on cooling tower plumes and urban diffusion. Suggestions are given for calculating diffusion in special situations, such as for instantaneous releases over complex terrain, over long distances, and during times when chemical reactions or dry or wet deposition are important.
