TeachMeFinance.com - explain Gaussian Plume Model Gaussian Plume Model The term 'Gaussian Plume Model' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A computer model used to calculate air pollution concentrations. The model assumes that a pollutant plume is carried downwind from its emission source by a mean wind and that concentrations in the plume can be approximated by assuming that the highest concentrations occur on the horizontal and vertical midlines of the plume, with the distribution about these mid-lines characterized by Gaussian- or bell-shaped concentration profiles'.
