Stack plume characterization and model assessment with lidar data

Abstract

A mobile lidar system was used to obtain plume rise and dispersion measurements for validating plume models. Predictions of rise and spread from the two-thirds law were found to agree well with observations. These predictions were used in combination with Lamb's results for neutrally buoyant particle diffusion in the mixed layer to estimate dispersion when convective turbulence became important.
