Abstract
A practical and low-cost method is proposed for the on-line determination of the stability class for the application of dispersion curves in a Gaussian dispersion model. The method is based on the estimation of the intensity and the time scale of horizontal turbulent fluctuations of the wind direction measured at 10 m. Application of this method leads to a more realistic frequency distribution of the classes in which the neutral case D no longer prevails.
