ASCOT FY-1981 progress report

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5745142· OSTI ID:5745142
;
Since the DOE Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) Program was initiated in 1978, the major emphasis of the program has been on the study of nocturnal drainage winds using The Geysers Known Geothermal Resource Area of northern California as the study site. Studies during this year were related to reducing and analyzing the data taken during a major field study in September 1980, model development and testing, and conducting the last series of field experiments in this area to determine the interaction of cooling tower plumes from the geothermal power plants with nocturnal drainage and limited daytime mixing regimes.
