| Abstract: | Abstract This paper, which is partly drawn from the thesis work of one of the authors, presents experimental results of remote-sensing of plumes by optical radar. Plume-rise theories from single stack emissions, due to Briggs (1969) and Moore (1974), were tested at different sites. Furthermore, a model for the rise of plumes will be described based on multiple sources of different heights and buoyancy fluxes. Finally, the fine structure of the plume cross-sections, deduced from the analysis of LIDAR echoes in terms of opacity (turbidity) ratios, will be shown |
