A comparison of plume rise algorithms to stack plume measurements in the Athabasca oil sands

<p>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. In this paper, the performance of the commonly used Briggs plume rise algorithm was extensively evaluat...
