Models for estimating the buoyancy fluxes of smoke plumes from high-altitude stacks are proposed using direct and indirect calculation methods. These methods are based on similarity and dimension relations for smoke jets propagating in a wind flow and data from aerological sounding. In an indirect method for calculating the rise height of smoke mixtures and the buoyancy flux, satellite information is used on the distribution of plumes and the position of their shadows on the earth's surface. Approbation of the proposed methods was carried out for high-altitude pipes of a number of large thermal power plants in Siberia. Estimates of buoyancy flows and rise heights of smoke plumes for the CHP pipes under consideration are made. Quite satisfactory agreement was established between the results calculated by both methods.
