Abstract

Modern methods of atmospheric research, including air pollution calculations, are based on well-known physical laws related to what is usually called a ‘volume element’, ‘parcel’ or ‘box’ of air. Such an element is a volume of identifiable air that maintains some sort of integrity as it moves around from point to point.
