Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario where pollutant X is released at a certain height. Describe how changes in temperature gradients might affect its dispersion using the concepts learned.
💡 Hint: Think about the roles of both stability and mixing height in affecting dispersion.
If you have a pollutant with a high diffusion coefficient, how would this impact concentration predictions at different distances from the source?
💡 Hint: Relate diffusion rates to the qualitative behavior of pollutant concentration over distance.
