A passive tracer is released for a long time at a constant rate R at a height z = H above the ground, where the average wind velocity is S and is in the x direction. The release point is within the boundary layer of the atmosphere. What is the concentration of the tracer at the ground (z = 0) as a function of x and y? |

Sorry - I'm a bit confused here. First, you have defined x to be the wind direction, but what is y? If x and y refer to the position on the ground plane, as z refers to the height above it, the you need to specify the wind direction as a vector - and please, vall it something other than x :-) Second, it seems to me that the ground concentration will also depend on S, not just x and y. Can you straighten me out here, please? |

x, y, and z are a rectangular coordinate system. The average wind speed is S, a constant, and is in the x direction. Anticipating another question along these lines, there is no time dependence in the problem. The answer I'm looking for is the time-averaged concentration at the ground. |
