Abstract

Gaussian models for the prediction of atmospheric transfer require the knowledge of experimental input data which are the standard-deviations of the diffusion of pollution. Different evolution laws of the standard deviations found in the literature are, according to the authors, a function of the travel distance1 or the travel time2,3 of the pollutant.
