Plume Rise

Models to compare

Fire Emissions Production Simulator (FEPS)

The FEPS Plume Rise Module invokes the Fire Emission Production Simulator (FEPS) plume rise model to generate vertical plume profiles using a Briggs-type plume rise formulation to calculate buoyancy effects.

• used as implemented in the BlueSky Framework
  

WRAP

The WRAP Plume Rise Module uses a formulation from the 2002 Western Regional Air Partnership (WRAP) Emission Inventory Report to generate vertical plume profiles.  The plume profiles are a function of fire size, total fuel loading, and a diurnal buoyancy profile.
