Enhancement of Crosswind Pollutant Dispersion by Steadily Veering Winds in Sea Breezes. Steyn, Douw G.; Segal, M.
Abstract
An estimate is given of the relative importance of wind veering and turbulent diffusion in the mean horizontal spread of pollutant plumes in the atmosphere. Documented veering rates in sea breezes are used to illustrate the effect, and it is concluded that for typical sea breeze induced veering, the effect will be significant over much of the range of applicability of the Gaussian plume model.
