User-Oriented Two-Dimensional Measure of Effectiveness for the Evaluation of Transport and Dispersion Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional measure of effectiveness for comparing hazardous material transport and dispersion model predictions and field observations has been developed. This measure is used for comparing predictions and observations ...
Comparisons of Transport and Dispersion Model Predictions of the URBAN 2000 Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tracer releases of the ?URBAN 2000? urban tracer and meteorological field experiment conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah, in October 2000 provided a wealth of data for comparison with the predictions of transport and ...
Comparisons of Transport and Dispersion Model Predictions of the Joint Urban 2003 Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For a hazardous material release in a city or densely populated area, effective mitigation requires an understanding of the transport and dispersion of these hazards in the complex urban environment. Improved characterization ...
Comparisons of Transport and Dispersion Model Predictions of the Mock Urban Setting Test Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential effects of a terrorist attack involving the atmospheric release of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or other hazardous materials continue to be of concern to the United States. The Defense Threat ...
Contrasting the Use of Single-Realization versus Ensemble-Average Atmospheric Dispersion Solutions for Chemical and Biological Defense Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hemical and biological (CB) defense systems require significant testing and evaluation before they are deployed for real-time use. Because it is not feasible to evaluate these systems with open-air testing alone, researchers ...
