In the event of a large atmospheric release of radioactive material, aerial radiological measurements (aerial gamma spectroscopy) may be employed to show where the activity has deposited on the ground. If there are multiple organizations conducting aerial measurements, there will be certain requirements for the detection systems and data collection procedures that should be considered, so that the data from all systems can be effectively combined to present a unified map of the contamination. The presentation will detail some of these requirements.
