ASCOT FY-1979 progress report. [Atmospheric studies in complex terrain]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5579882
The organization and accomplishments of the DOE program for Atmospheric Studies in Complex Terrain (ASCOT) for FY-1979 are described. ASCOT is currently concentrating on the study of nighttime drain winds in The Geysers area of Northern California. The ASCOT program is designed to develop the technology needed to assess atmospheric properties and the impact of new energy sources on air quality in areas of complex terrain. The program uses theoretical atmospheric physics research, mathematical models, field experiments, and physical models to help develop a modeling and measurement methodology that can be used to provide the air quality assessments in these areas. Progress in these research projects is reviewed briefly. (JGB)
