Abstract
In operational applications of dispersion calculations in areas on the meso-γ-scale, which covers roughly the interval 2–20 km, one often uses models that presumes the wind- and turbulence fields to be horizontally uniform over the area concerned. This assumption could be very incorrect in an area with complex terrain. The present model works as follows:
