A facility emits 18 g SO2 /s at an effective height of 60m. On a cloudy night, an anemometer at a height of 10 m above ground measures the wind-speed at 3.2 m/s.

  1. Predict the ground-level SO2 concentration 0.4 km directly downwind. (60 pts.)
  2. What does the plume look like? Sketch a plot. (20 pts.)
  3. What would the plume look like if there were an inversion layer at an elevation of 100 m? Sketch a plot. (20 pts.)
