The Dispersion Parameters

Point Source Dispersion Parameters:

Equations that approximately fit the Pasquill-Gifford curves are used to calculate sig_y and sig_z (in meters) for the rural mode. The equations used to calculate sig_y are of the form:

sig_y=465.11628 x tan (TH)        (29)

where:

TH=0.017453293[c - d ln(x)] (30)

In both Equations the downwind distance x is in kilometers. The equation used to calculate sig_z is of the form:

sig_z=ax^b    (31)

where the downwind distance x is in kilometers and sig_z is in meters.

Procedures Used to Account for Buoyancy-Induced Dispersion

The method of Pasquill is used to account for the initial dispersion of plumes. With this method, the effective vertical dispersion s_ze is calculated as follows:

sig_ze=[sig_z² +(Dh/3.5)]^1/2        (32)

where sig_z is the vertical dispersion due to ambient turbulence and Dh is the plume rise due to momentum or buoyancy. The lateral plume spread is:

sig_ye=[sig_y² +(Dh/3.5)]^1/2        (33)

where sig_y is the lateral dispersion due to ambient turbulence. It should be noted that Dh is the distance-dependent plume rise if the receptor is located between the source and the distance to final rise, and final plume rise if the receptor is located beyond the distance to final rise.
