Question 1

What happens to a pollutant plume in unstable atmospheric conditions?

  • It dissipates quickly
  • It rises and loops
  • It stays at ground level

💡 Hint: Think about the behavior of hot air.

Question 2

Is fanning associated with high or low dispersion?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the description of fanning conditions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario of urban pollution during summer, where the environmental lapse rate is observed at -4 °C/km, analyze and predict the dispersion shape. Discuss the factors influencing your prediction.

💡 Hint: Focus on the relationships between the lapse rates.

Question 2

Calculate the mixing height when the environmental lapse rate is reported as -6 °C/km and the adiabatic lapse rate is -9.8 °C/km. Describe the implications for pollution transport.

💡 Hint: Analyze how the difference in lapse rates affects the mixing height.
