ABSTRACT
Based on the K-model, an alternative solution to the problem of forecasting atmospheric pollution other than the Gaussian models (either the plume or the puff) is presented. It is intended to show its possible use for the long-term as well as for the real-time forecast. My proposed procedure is expected to take similar computer time to Gaussian models, thereby eliminating the main objection for its use.Key word index: advection-diffusion solver, atmospheric diffusion, real-time forecast, air pollution.
