The Gaussian Plume Equation for a continuous point source release is given below: C(x, y) = Qπ u0 σy σz exp(-H2)2σz2 exp(-y2)2σy2 Which of the following statements are correct regarding this equation? A. σy and σz are standard deviations of vertical and horizontal Gaussian distributions, respectively. B. Smaller values of the dispersion coefficients will give a broader Gaussian curve. C. As we move downwind from the stack, the Gaussian curve spreads further. D. As we move downwind from the stack, the dispersion coefficients become larger. E. The above equation is uniformly applicable to any terrain and atmospheric temperature profile. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
