| Abstract | Monitoring of atmospheric dilution potential will be important throughout the tar sands region in Canada. The application of a one layer numerical model to predict the development of the thermal boundary layer is described. Numerical results are compared with data obtained during field studies. The model predicts thermal boundary layer height as a function of time of day. The model appears to describe the essential features of the thermal boundary layer development for a period of four to eight hours in convective conditions.
