Lagrangian measurement platform flights in support of the Tennessee Plume Study: field effort and data

During the month of August 1978, two Lagrangian measurement platform (LAMP) experiments were conducted in conjunction with the Environmental Protection Agency's Tennessee Plume Study. In both experiments, the LAMP was launched into the Cumberland Power Plant plume. The instrumented balloon system provided data on the chemical and physical behavior of the pollutants downwind from the plant over the duration of the flights. A description of the field effort, the data acquired, and some preliminary results are presented here.
