Abstract
A practical puff model based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory is presented. The model uses approximate solutions for the dispersion of a cloud of passive contaminant released from instantaneous sources an d where particular importance is given in describing the interaction b etween wind shear and vertical diffusion. The model performances are e valuated against tracer ground-level concentrations released near the ground and at a height of 115 m.
