Abstract
This work describes the pollution plumes of seven Spanish
coal power plants under the most typical meteorological conditions
that affect the Iberian Peninsula at synoptic scale. The aim is to
understand how meteorology modulates the plume dynamics (length,
altitude, orientation) and their contribution to NO2 and SO2 surface
concentration. Using the BSC-ES operational air quality forecasting
system (CALIOPE-AQFS), the behavior of the plumes is analyzed for
a representative day of each of the six most common synoptic
situations. The results show that the plumes from Atlantic facilities
are mainly driven by synoptic conditions whereas for power plants
located over the Mediterranean and on mountainous regions,
mesoscale dynamics dominate. Moreover, when the injection of the
pollutants is done within the planetary boundary layer there is an
increase in the NO2 and SO2 surface concentrations close to (<15-20
km) the sources.
