A comparison of plume rise algorithms to stack plume measurements in the Athabasca oil sands [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Plume rise parameterizations calculate the rise of pollutant plumes due to effluent buoyancy and exit momentum. Some form of these parameterizations is used by most air quality models.

Optimizing Smoke and Plume Rise Modeling Approaches at Local Scales
Atmosphere, 2018 Heating from wildfires adds buoyancy to the overlying air, often producing plumes that vertically distribute fire emissions throughout the atmospheric column over the fire.

PREDICTION OF STACK PLUME RISE
Ecological Engineering and Environment Protection, 2023 Plumes can emit from stacks of power plants, refineries and so on. Plume rise depends on multiple factors including stack exit diameter, exhaust gas velocity, effluent temperature, wind speed, lapse rate etc.

Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Plume Rise Measurements in Industrial Environments
Remote Sensing, 2023 Determining the height of plume clouds is crucial for various applications, including global climate models. Smokestack plume rise refers to the altitude at which the plume cloud travels downwind until its momentum dissipates and the temperatures of the ...
