In order to simplify the analytical procedures involved in determining the value of [sigma], Pasquill(1961-1962) and Gifford(1961) have devised graphical schemes for determining [sigma] for the six stability categories, A to F, discussed earlier... ;[sigma] values were determined from experimental observations within 1 km of ground sounds. The estimates are based on ideal meteorological conditions over flat terrain and should not be used indiscriminately for rough terrain or complex meteorological conditions.
