Hodgin, C R; Smith, M L

The objective for this Model Validation Protocol is to establish a plan for quantifying the performance (accuracy and precision) of the Terrain-Responsive Atmospheric Code (TRAC) model. The performance will be determined by comparing model predictions against tracer characteristics observed in the free atmosphere. The Protocol will also be applied to other reference'' dispersion models. The performance of the TRAC model will be compared to the performance of these reference models in order to establish TRAC's acceptance for use in applications at the Rocky Flats Plant.
