The subjects covered in the book include atmospheric turbulence and stability classes, buoyant plume rise, Gaussian dispersion calculations and modeling, time-averaged concentrations, wind velocity profiles, fumigations, trapped plumes and gas flare stack plumes. The constraints and assumptions involved in the basic equations are fully explained.
The book has received favorable reviews, including a description of its "simple straightforward explanations" for a "full course in single-source dispersive modeling".[1][2][3]
The book has been purchased in 84 countries and is currently available in 232 libraries worldwide.[4] It has been referenced or cited as an educational resource more than 835 times in the technical literature and on the Internet, including 33 regulatory publications of state or national governmental agencies worldwide. It has also been used as recommended reading or a textbook in 61 university courses.[4] It is also listed in the Open Library, the LibraryThing, goodReads, the Wageningen University Library, the Internet Archive, and citeulike.
The book is now available only as a downloadable version in PDF format.
