Description

The paper, based on statistical data and model calculations with the SAUNA and WALKUERE codes, shows that the following effects of waste heat should be expected, although only in the direct neighbourhood (up to 10 km) of the cooling tower: 1) Reduced sunshine periods; 2) air humidity and temperature near the ground; 3) precipitations; 4) cloud formation; 5) inversion effects on the rise of cooling tower plumes, and 6) effects of the low-pressure area on the lee side of the cooling tower on plume dispersion.

Abstract (German)

Die Ausfuehrungen, die auf statistischen Daten und Modellrechnungen mit den Computerprogrammen SAUNA und WALKUERE beruhen, zeigen, dass folgende Auswirkungen der Abwaerme nur in direkter Umgebung der Kuehltuerme (bis zu 10 km) zu erwarten sind: 1) Verminderung der Sonnenscheindauer; 2) Luftfeuchte und -temperatur in Bodennaehe; 3) Niederschlaege; 4) Wolkenbildung; 5) Einfluss von Inversionen auf den Aufstieg von Kuehlturmfahnen und 6) Einfluss des Unterdruckgebietes im Lee des Kuehlturms auf die Schwadenausbreitung.
