A simple model is devised, and approximations are made in an attempt to explain the observed dependence on removal rates of fluctuations in trace gas concentrations in the troposphere. The model suggests that the coefficient of dispersion (σχ/〈χ〉) of the fluctuations of the gas concentration χ arising from variations in the production rate is proportional to γ1/2, where γ is the rate of removal of the gas.
