Title: Proposed pragmatic methods for estimating plume rise and plume penetration through atmospheric layers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5414013

Methods are proposed for estimating plume rise taking advantage of data on the vertical variation of wind speed and temperature. In addition, partial penetration of the plume into the stable layer above the mixing height is considered.
