This report describes and compares two Lagrangian stochastic models for turbulent diffusion: (1) the random velocity increment model based on the Langevin equation and (2) the random displacement model. We apply both models to identical test problems for one-dimensional (vertical) diffusion, using identical parameterizations of turbulence statistics as inputs. We compare the results and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model. This work is part of an effort to improve the ADPIC dispersion model (Lange, 1978) which is based on the eddy diffusivity model. It is also part of a cooperative research effort on the transport and dispersion of hazardous materials in the atmosphere by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Institute of Experimental Meteorology (USSR).
