I copied it to here at Citizendium as is with the exception that the Wikipedia article title was "Atmospheric dispersion modeling"... and will now delete all of the Wikipedia links and certain sections. I will also be making some wording changes. - Milton Beychok 23:08, 25 January 2008 (CST)

Wanted to clarify one point

Maybe you defined it and I'm not seeing it, or it's one of those case where "it's intuitively obvious", and it actually is because I have an intuition. Confusing enough?

Am I correct in my intuition that a "bent-over" plume is one that moves off the vertical axis of the stack, because its vertical energy is no longer sufficient to overcome horizontal crosswind components? Howard C. Berkowitz 00:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
