In this chapter I use current understanding of micrometeorology to describe dispersion of pollutants in the stable boundary layer (SBL). I emphasize how dispersion works rather than particular formulas that can be used to estimate ground-level concentrations. Whenever it is possible, I will make recommendations on the use of available models for dispersion. However, my main objective is to provide the type of understanding of dispersion that will allow you to tackle a problem without reaching for a handbook on air pollution modeling.
