Atmospheric vertical dispersion in moderate winds with eddy diffusivities as power law functions

The vertical diffusion of a passive tracer released from a source in an unstable stratified boundary layer is studied by comparing an analytical model and experiments. The analytical solution is obtained by assuming power-law profiles for the mean velocity and vertical eddy diffusivity coefficients...
