Abstract
A field study was conducted during August and September 1975 to measure parameters of effluent plumes from two coal-fired electric generating stations near Wheeling, West Virginia. This data report presents plume heights, plume horizontal and vertical dispersion, and plume centerline and maximum low altitude sulfur dioxide concentrations. Plume parameters were observed with a helicopter-borne air quality monitoring system and an airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) system which measured aerosol light scattering. Plume cross sections in terms of sulfur dioxide concentrations and aerosol light scattering were simultaneously obtained with the helicopter and LIDAR systems and are presented for comparison. Estimates of sulfur dioxide fluxed in the effluent plumes were prepared from the helicopter sulfur dioxide plume cross sections and the transport winds. Sulfur dioxide flux estimates derived from helicopter data agree within 10 percent with flux estimates derived from coal consumption and sulfur content data for three cases in stable atmospheres with moderate wind speeds. Plume rise formulas have been developed for the two plants.
