Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a pollutant source emits at 200 m above ground and the mixing height is 500 m, describe how you would expect the pollutant dispersion to behave.
💡 Hint: Consider the role of the mixing height in limiting vertical movement.
Using the provided lapse rate, calculate the temperature drop from 25 °C to an altitude of 1500 meters. What implications does this have for air stability?
💡 Hint: Use the formula: ΔT = lapse rate x height.
