Plume characteristics

Thus the vertical distances to be used in the plume characteristics calculation are correspondingly equal to 2.31 m and 4.31 m. 

J2 Effects of Plume Characteristics Chapter 5 describes the behavior of plumes in more detail, but a brief discussion of their effect on search is appropriate here. Two characteristics of plumes appear significantly important... 

The sample data presented in this chapter were collected for fairly simple flow conditions. The flow was a unidirectional open-channel flow without large-scale flow meander, and the release condition was isokinetic in the direction of the bulk flow. Thus, chemical filaments were advected by the bulk flow in the stream-wise direction, while turbulent mixing acted to expand the plume size and dilute the chemical concentration. Changes in the flow and release conditions lead to significant variation in the plume characteristics and structure.

The accuracy of models will ultimately be limited by practical considerations. These include uncertainties both in the input data (time and precise location of release, initial plume characteristics, or interior dispersion characteristics) and in the local meteorological conditions. 

Computer-data processing techniques can be utilized to interpret and present results obtained from site surveys in order to filter out unwanted cultural interferences, and to evaluate plume characteristics. Correlation of EM maps with field-collected geologic information is essential for the final interpretation of the survey data. Two and three layer conductivity models can be constructed using quantitative techniques. The resulting models are generally less detailed in the vertical resolution of the subsurface layers than those produced from vertical electrical soundings.
