The Growth and Prediction of Nocturnal Inversions.
Abstract
The growth of nocturnal inversions is investigated with respect to experimental data extracted from the literature. Generally, it was found that the growth of nocturnal inversion with time is in the form Z sub I = 2 sq rt((K sub m)(t)) where K sub m is the eddy viscosity and t is time in minutes, after inversion onset. This investigative effort is applicable to the dispersion and transport of smoke screening and obscurant aerosols and particulates released in nocturnal conditions.
