A Gaussian plume estimates how a gas or vapor release disperses downwind. Stability class (A unstable to F stable) sets how fast the plume spreads. The dashed line is the protective action distance where concentration falls below your action level. Screening estimate only — use ERG and monitors on scene.

Governing equation

C (x, y) = \frac{50}{2 π 4 σ _{y} σ _{z}} exp (- \frac{y ^{2}}{2 σ _{y}^{2}})

Reading this result: Concentration falls off as the wind stretches and vertical mixing thins the plume — stronger wind and less stable air pull the protective distance in toward the source.

Power parameter

Given scattered measurements — rainfall gauges, soil samples, air-quality sensors — inverse-distance weighting estimates values everywhere in between. Each sample's influence falls off with distance raised to a power: a low power gives smooth, blended surfaces; a high power makes each sample dominate its neighborhood in sharp bull's-eyes. The workhorse of GIS mapping.

Governing equation

\overset{z}{^} (x) = \frac{\sum _{i} w _{i} z _{i}}{\sum _{i} w _{i}}, w_{i} = \frac{1}{d _{i}^{2.0}}

Reading this result: At power 2.0 nearby samples win but distant ones still contribute — a balanced surface between smooth and spiky.
