Consider the following pairs of plume type and the profile that produces it:

Lofting - Stable below, unstable above

Fumigation - Inversion eroding from below

Trapping - Stable layers both above and below

Coning - Strongly unstable throughout

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All four
  • D.Only three

Answer: D

Correct answer: Only three

Three pairs are right: lofting with stable air below and unstable above; fumigation with an inversion eroding from below; trapping with stable layers both above and below. The fourth is wrong: coning occurs in neutral conditions, with moderate turbulence roughly equal in the vertical and crosswind directions. Strongly unstable air gives looping instead.
