The theoretical background for the equation is discussed in length and a review on previous treatments and applications is given. It is shown that the Langevin equation can describe dispersion in complex circumstances. In particular the equation is applied to dispersion in a convective boundary layer, where it reproduced the measurements accurately. Two forms of the Langevin Equation, which have both been used in practical applications, are copared and it is concluded that in terms of their theoretical properties, they are not very different in spite of important differences in practical application.
