Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the mixing height in an urban setting if the environmental lapse rate is 6°C per 1000m and the adiabatic lapse rate is 10°C per 1000m. What do these values indicate about the potential for pollution dispersion?

💡 Hint: Find the intersection of the lapse rates.

Question 2

Given a Gaussian dispersion equation with parameters X = 50m, Y = 30m, and Z = 2m, calculate the expected concentration at the specified height. What role does the mixing height have in this equation?

💡 Hint: Be cautious of how height influences concentration values!
