diffusive equilibrium
The steady state resulting from the diffusion process, also known as gravitational equilibrium. In such a state the constituent gases of the atmosphere would be distributed independently of each other, the heavier decreasing more rapidly with height than the lighter. However, the occurrence of turbulent mixing precludes establishment of diffusive equilibrium. See isothermal equilibrium.
