Summary
Practical problems of atmospheric dispersion cover a vast range of scales and are usually much more complex than can be modelled at present. The principles that have been learnt from observations and model building in more ideal studies, such as described in the lecture by Jeff Weil on ‘Atmospheric Dispersion - Observations and Models’, need to be kept firmly in mind. Then significant solutions to practical problems are possible.
