Additionally, the Gaussian puff model is calculated in three dimensions and is time dependent by applying instantaneous formulas for the time-dependent lateral and vertical dispersion parameters. Next, a comparison is made between the observed data of SF6 in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Iodine-135 under unstable conditions, and Gaussian plume and puff models.
