Short summary
The is a study of the plumes that rise from smokestacks. Knowing how these plume behave helps predict downwind pollutant concentrations. We use photos over a 2-year period to investigate how these plumes rise under different conditions and compare this to a commonly used model parameterization. It is found that the equations used to model plume rise in current models do well for some condition, but these equations can over-predict the plume rise, typically during the day when it is hot.
