Caption: Figure 3.

Vertical motions of dust grains in the absence of collisions for particles with sizes ﹩s=0.1\;\mu {\rm{m}},\;1\;\mathrm{mm},\;1\;\mathrm{cm}﹩. Trajectories are simulated at ﹩r=5\;\mathrm{au}﹩, assuming ﹩\alpha ={10}^{-3}﹩. Left: three typical trajectories plotted as a function of time. Right: normalized histograms of the time spent at different heights. For each histogram, the histories of 103 particles are combined. The shaded curves show predictions of Equation (9) using the corresponding midplane Stokes numbers.
