l-Gifford or Gaussian dispersion applies only to neutrally buoyant dispersion of gases in which the turbulent mixing is
nant feature of the dispersion.

ically valid only for a distance of 0.1–10 km from the release point.

ncentrations predicted by the Gaussian models are time averages. Thus it is possible for instantaneous local
tions to exceed the average values predicted—this might be important for emergency response.

dels presented here assume a 10-minute time average. Actual instantaneous concentrations may vary by as much as a
2 from the concentrations computed using Gaussian models.
