Gaussian Dispersion Ground Level Concentration

c mg/m3 : Ground level concentrations at point (x, y)

y m : Crosswind distance from the plume centerline
z m : Vertical distance from ground level
H m : Effective stack height (stack height plus plume rise)
Q g/s : Source emission rate
sy m : Standard deviations of the concentration distributions in the crosswind direction
sz m : Standard deviations of the concentration distributions in the vertical direction
U m/s : Average wind speed at stack height
