| Abstract | The particulate plume from the power plant of Great Canadian Oil Sands, Ltd. was observed using a mobile laser radar (LIDAR). Thirteen Eulerian average cross sections were obtained from which the horizontal and vertical dispersion coefficients, plume rise and plume bearing were derived. The methodology for extracting these parameters from LIDAR scans is presented. Comparison with Gaussian plume formulae show valley effects and wind shear under stable regimes to be important for this region. |
