Plume blight visibility modeling with a simulated photograph technique

Journal Article · · J. Air Pollut. Control Assoc.; (United States)
; ;
A visibility model has been developed for plume blight simulations which provides a simulated photograph as an output. Model applications indicate that the appearance of smoke plumes is sensitive to observer geometry, sun angle, emissions of NO/sub x/ and particulates, atmospheric stability, and the background against which the plume is visualized. Plumes from modern coal-fired power plants are primarily visible during stable conditions as a result of NO/sub 2/ discoloration of the sky.
