Extract

This paper is concerned with diffusion into a turbulent atmosphere from an infinite ground level line source at right angles to the direction of the mean wind velocity. A solution is obtained for a mechanism which takes into account diffusion in the direction of the velocity, and the predictions of the solution are found to be in good agreement with experimental data in adiabatic atmospheric conditions.
