Abstract
It is known (Thomson, 1987) that Ito’s type stochastic models (LS) satisfy the well-mixed condition and hence are physically consistent. An Eulerian probability density function (PDF) of the turbulent velocities, as close as possible to the actual atmospheric PDF, must be prescribed in order to specify the model. Unfortunately these models have a unique solution in one-dimension only (Sawford and Guest, 1988). For this reason the present study will focus on one-dimensional diffusion simulation.
