The main objective of this paper is to estimate the plume dispersion parameters in lateral direction (σ_y) and vertical direction (σ_z) by using power law wind speed and the scheme of eddy diffusivity in unstable condition. Comparison among our model and algebraic [1] and integral [2] formulations were held. We find that our model and two other models are in agreement with observed data.
