Description
The present book contains the papers that have been presented at the IUTAM-Symposium on Atmospheric Dispersion of Heavy Gases and Small Particles, which was held from August 29th to September 2nd 1983 in Scheveningen in The Netherlands. Attendees from many countries were present; 4 review lectures and about 25 research papers were presented. The realization of the symposium was made possible by the support of Delft University of Technology Koninklijke/Shell-Laboratory Amsterdam Prins Maurits Laboratory/Institute for Chemical and Technological Research Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. The symposium organization was carried out by the local organi- zing committee consisting of F.G.J. Absil - Delft University of Technology G.W. Colenbrander - Koninklijke/Shell-Laboratory Amsterdam G. Ooms - Delft University of Technology G. Opschoor - Prins Maurits Laboratory/Institute for Chemical and Technological Research H. Tennekes - Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute A.P. van Ulden - Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute. The work of the organizing committee was supported in many re- spects by the sientific committee, which consisted of H.
Fiedler - Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe, Fed. Rep. of Germany F.N. Frenkiel - Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. J.C.R. Hunt - University of Cambridge, England J. Kondo - National Institute for Environmetal Studies, Japan J.L. Lumley - Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, U.S.A.
