In this paper we present a Random Walk Model (RWM) for atmospheric dispersion in the daytime boundary layer with a continuous transition between neutral and convective conditions. A RWM describes the dispersion of a passive tracer in a flow, whose turbulent structure is known. Particle trajectories are generated using a stochastic model for Lagrangian velocities, and from those the mean concentration field is calculated.
