Abstract

A semi‐empirical treatment of the vertical diffusion of matter in the lowest layers of the atmosphere is given in the following and shown to be in good agreement with the results of carefully conducted field experiments made over two different types of natural land surface. The present work extends the treatment of diffusion in an adiabatic atmosphere given by Calder (1948) by allowing for the effects of thermal stratification.

The treatment is based on the results of an extensive investigation of vertical profiles of mean wind velocity in the lowest ten metres of the atmosphere (mainly carried out at the Chemical Defence Experimental Station, Porton, Salisbury Plain). A complete account of this study will probably be published as a Geophysical Memoir of the Meteorological Office.

## Abstract A procedure is suggested by which an estimate of the ascent or descent of air can be obtained by use of constant‐level maps and upper air soundings plotted on tephigrams or charts of a similar type. Results obtained by this method are compared with those by other methods. Examples of it
