Description:
A field study was conducted during October 1 to December 8, 1976 to measure parameters of the effluent plume of The Anaconda Company's copper smelter, Anaconda, Montana. Plume parameters were observed with a helicopter-borne air quality monitoring system. This data report presents plume heights, plume horizontal and vertical dispersion, and plume centerline concentration, and low-altitude sulfur dioxide concentrations over areas of plume impaction. Nephelometer and SO2 data have been adjusted to account for instrument response times.
