Atmospheric transport studies
Creators
Description
Atmospheric transport studies focused on new modeling techniques and experiments to develop methods for calculating the transport and dispersion of both routine and accidental releases of pollutants to the atmosphere of the southeastern United States. A weather information and display system was developed to provide data for emergency meteorological response to accidental releases and the transport and diffusion of radioactive nuclides in routine releases. A comparison was made of 85Kr diffusion using calculated values and a wind rose and time-dependent trajectory models. A three-dimensional planetary boundary layer model was developed that forecasts wind, temperature, and humidity fields within the lowest 2 Km of the atmosphere. Numerical techniques were applied to planetary boundary layer modeling and a tornado diffusion model
