Abstract This is the third in a series of measurements on this topic with the first two conducted at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). A major goal in all three studies has been to measure the initial plume characteristics of jet exhaust in support of obtaining increased accuracy in air dispersion modeling efforts. All three studies have resulted in cross-sections of the plume which can be quantified and visualized giving initial plume characteristics including plume rise, horizontal plume standard deviation, and vertical plume standard deviation.
