Abstract

A review of non-Gaussian analytical solutions of the advection diffusion equation is presented. Their utilization to mathematical models of air pollution diffusion is discussed and the application of a particular solution is suggested. The suggested KAPPAG model uses the Demuth's (1978) solution and can incorporate smoothed observed vertical wind and diffusion coefficient profiles. It is shown that Demuth's solution can represent the realistic situations of the diminishing vertical exchange coefficient at the top of boundary layer.
