Summary
Abstract: Stability Array (STAR) are historical tabulations for U.S. stations and a scattering of stations world wide. STAR was born from the work of Pasquill (1951), Turner (1964), and Martin and Tidvart (1968). It provides, at least roughly, the diffusion characteristics for the lowest part of the atmosphere and biosphere. It is an objective method of determining stability from readily available surface ...
