The role of the ASCOT program in dispersion studies in complex terrain
- Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)
The US Department of Energy`s (DOE) Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) program was established approximately 15 years ago to study the properties of the atmospheric boundary layer in areas of complex terrain, and to relate the knowledge gained through these studies to problems of transport and diffusion of atmospheric pollutants in such regions. While the program has evolved over the years to include phenomena over different scales, at various locations, and to address changing DOE mission needs, the concern with issues relevant to atmospheric dispersion has continued to be a major factor in the program`s research. This aspect of the program directly supports DOE`s interests in the areas of air quality and emergency preparedness. In this paper, some of ASCOT`s significant contributions to this field are reviewed.
