Abstract
A series of field experiments was conducted at China Lake, California, to study the dispersion of vapor from spills of liquefied natural gas (LNG) onto a 50-m diameter pond (Koopman et al. , 1982). An extensive array of instruments, located in arcs 57, 140, 400, and 800 m downwind, provided micrometeorological and gas concentration data. At some locations in this array, high-frequency (3-5 Hz) gas-concentration measurements were taken at 1, 3, and 8 m above the ground. Spills considered in this analysis were conducted under a range of meteorological conditions (wind speed 1. 8 to 8. 4 m/s and Richardson number -0. 018 to 0. 121).
