Abstract
A numerical model of the transfer of a gaseous and dispersed impurity in the atmosphere is described. The model is based on the semi-empirical stationary equation of turbulent diffusion in the boundary layer of the atmosphere with account for the gravitational deposition of particles. The altitude profiles of the coefficient of turbulent diffusion and of the wind velocity are approximated according to the Monin-Obukhov theory and the data obtained by Byzova with her coworkers. The atmosphere stratification is determined on the basis of standard meteorological data. The model is compared with experimental data and with well-known techniques used to calculate the propagation of impurity in the atmosphere.
