Abstract

Under stable stratification and light winds large horizontal wind direction fluctuations have been observed quite often leading to meandering of pollutants plume downwind of elevated point sources. Due to this plume meandering long term concentration levels can be reduced by a factor of 4 or more, compared to straight plume conditions. Some possible mechanisms causing plume meandering under stable conditions are discussed, including gravity waves and vortices with horizontal or vertical axis.
