“…In (b) above the fact that the standard deviation, o(x,z,t,y), depends on y has been indicated explicitly since this will be significant in the comparison presented later. The experimental concentration data by Peterson (1968) are given with an arbitrary normalization.…”

“…By considering a large number of individual tracer particle trajectories, the spatial and time variations of a plume may be determined. In their paper, Watson and Barr considered only instantaneous sources, but it is straightforward to adapt their model, * A comparison between results obtained with the diffusion model code ATM (Culkowski and Patterson, 1976) and the experimental data of Peterson (1968) is ~riven inAppend1x 1.…”

“…In the present work, calculated results obtained with the WB model, or more precisely with the WB model in a somewhat modified form, are presented, and, following a suggestion by F. A. Gifford (1976), are compared with the experimental data of Peterson (1968) that extends over distances 2 300 km. Watson and Barr have incorporated their model in a computer code, SPOOR (Watson and Barr, 1976).…”

“…One of the goals of field studies on plume emissions has been to outline the plume dimensions, 4 ' 5 so as to better determine the pollutant dispersion pattern. Early attempts at tracking plumes relied heavily on photography 6 ' 7 and in situ ground-based or aircraft sampling of the aerosol.…”

“…Early attempts at tracking plumes relied heavily on photography 6 ' 7 and in situ ground-based or aircraft sampling of the aerosol. 4 ' 8 ' 9 However, turbulent mixing of the effluents may frequently cause the plume to quickly disappear from sight, often limiting the first method to short distances downwind. 10 The second method usually derives only a small portion of the information necessary to describe the plume in detail.…”
