Consider what happens during windy weather.
True or False: Mixing height is the same as the height a pollutant can reach indefinitely.
Think about scenarios when pollutants can’t rise freely.
Given a scenario with fluctuating environmental lapse rates, how would you predict pollutant dispersion over a day? Describe how you would approach this problem.
Think about the how changes in temperature at different times affect dispersion.
