Abstract
A procedure has been developed to evaluate statistical errors in the solution of the inverse problem in the theory of atmospheric diffusion. A conventional approach is used in which transport and deposition of species from a source are described within the framework of a model with a set of unknown parameters, the parameters being estimated on the basis of available experimental data on species distribution. Formulae are given to find the estimators of the parameters and their confidence region. The proposed technique is illustrated by an example of a radioactive release into the atmosphere in the framework of a simple Gaussian plume model with three unknown parameters : the integral activity, the height of the source, and the deposition velocity of the mononuclide species.
