Technical Bulletin No. 0055: The Application of Meteorological Study Techniques to Plant Site Evaluation and Control Program Design – Case Histories and Annotated Bibliography (AQT

The attached technical bulletin presented in summary fashion the study procedures, objectives and results of four highly diverse applied meteorological studies of existing and possible mill sites. It is being distributed in technical bulletin form along with an annotated bibliography on the subject of air pollution meteorology to familiarize the industry's technical personnel concerned with air pollution control program design with the diverse nature of this problem's meteorological aspects, and to encourage the application of such study techniques. With this purpose in mind, and to advance the industry's capability to deal with the atmospheric visibility aspects of mill moisture emissions, the National Council has undertaken two new research projects on meteorological analysis techniques for industrial site air pollution control planning, and factors controlling formation and persistence of ground level visibility reducing moisture plumes. The first of these at Harvard University is intended to develop a working document covering applied aspects of collection, generation, analysis and interpretation of meteorological data for design of mill air pollution control programs and comparative evaluation of mill sites. The second is intended to establish the relationships between moisture content, volume, discharge velocity and elevation above ground level of gaseous emissions and those meteorological conditions giving rise to visible plumes causing reduced ground level visibility. future technical bulletins.
