Atmospheric stability
• When ALR=ELR, no buoyant force, no pressure,
temperature change
• It will stay neither come back nor displacement.
Neutral
• When ELR>ALR, enhanced buoyancy, unstable, air
from different altitudes mix thoroughly. Very
desirable. Super adiabatic conditions
• When ALR>ELR, stable, their levels are build up
very rapidly
• Inversion: stable, no mixing

Wind velocity and turbulence
• Differential solar heating
• Thermal turbulence
• Mechanical turbulence
• Diluting and transporting the pollutants

Super adiabatic i.e. high mixing
Hot summer afternoon
large thermal eddies
High surface concentration pollutants

Cloudy skies both during day and night


Lapse rate neutral
Conc is carried downwind fairly far
before reaching ground level

Light winds atmospheric inversion


Stable lapse rate suppresses vertical mixing
But not horizontal mixing
Density difference is not too much and
hence plume travels parallel
