Derive a mathematical formula for the maximum mixing depth (MMD)for a hot, dry air pollution source (T_source >T_ambient) into a subadiabatic atmosphere based onT_source, T_ambient,(dT/dz)_adiabatic and (dT/dz)_ambient. Considerthe emission of exhaust from a vehicle. The temperature ofthe exhaust is 50 degrees C and the exhaust behavesadiabatically. The ambient temperature is 25 degrees C andthe ambient lapse rate is -5 degrees C/km. What is theexpected MMD for the emissions?
