Inversion de température en altitude. Les polluants s'accumulent au niveau où règne l'inversion de température. Selon que l'inversion se situe dans les couches inférieures ou supérieures au panache de fumée, celui-ci est tourmenté vers le haut («lofting») ou vers le bas (enfumage). 2, record 1, French, - panache%20tourment%C3%A9%20vers%20le%20bas

"trapping": When an inversion occurs aloft such as frontal or subsidence inversion a plume released beneath the inversion will be trapped beneath it. Even if the diffusion is good beneath the inversion such as a coning plume, the limit to upward diffusion will increase concentration in the plume and at ground level. 2, record 4, English, - trapped%20plume

"Panaches piégés" : Lorsqu'il se produit en altitude une inversion telle qu'une inversion frontale ou une inversion de subsidence, les panaches émis sous l'inversion sont piégés entre l'inversion et la surface de la terre. Même si la diffusion est bonne sous l'inversion, comme dans le cas des panaches coniques, elle est limitée vers le haut, de sorte que la concentration des polluants augmente dans le panache et au sol. La variation diurne des gradients thermiques près du sol, dans les campagnes éloignées des sources de chaleur urbaines, lorsque le ciel est dégagé, est illustrée à la figure 5. Dans de telles conditions, le gradient thermique décrit un cycle quotidien marqué, dans les quelques premières centaines de mètres au-dessus du sol. 1, record 4, French, - panache%20pi%C3%A9g%C3%A9

A well developed circulation can penetrate as far as 50 km inland. During sea breeze situations an interesting air pollution problem arises. This will be illustrated using the north shore of Lake Ontario as an example. Several thermal generating stations are opened near the coast. During a sea breeze situation..., their emissions are adverted inland relatively undispersed in stable air. Eventually the well-mixed layer whose thickness increases inland intercepts the plume and brings it to the ground. The result is stationary fumigation which persists much longer than the event-type of fumigation that occurs in late morning during the breakup of a nocturnal inversion. 1, record 5, English, - stationary%20fumigation
