In a previous report on effects of thermal discharges from power plants into the Great Lakes, we stressed the need for a statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal pattern of the thermal plume. The plume pattern is recognized as stochastic in nature and requires statistical analysis. A single realization of the Waukegan Station plume is studied with emphasis on its information content. Areas between isotherms at various depths are computed together with volumes of water in given temperature ranges above ambient; these measurements indicate the extent of the various parts of the plume together with the heat content of …

Description
In a previous report on effects of thermal discharges from power plants into the Great Lakes, we stressed the need for a statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal pattern of the thermal plume. The plume pattern is recognized as stochastic in nature and requires statistical analysis. A single realization of the Waukegan Station plume is studied with emphasis on its information content. Areas between isotherms at various depths are computed together with volumes of water in given temperature ranges above ambient; these measurements indicate the extent of the various parts of the plume together with the heat content of each part.
