The weather information and display emergency response system
The Weather Information and Display (WIND) system is an automated emergency response system for real-time predictions of the consequences of liquid and airborne releases from Savannah River Plant (SRP). The system consists of a minicomputer and associated peripherals necessary for acquisition and handling of large amounts of meteorological data from a local tower network and the National Weather Service. The minicomputer uses these data and several predictive models to assess the impact of accidental releases. The system is fast and easy to use, and output is displayed both in tabular form and as trajectory map plots for quick interpretation. The rapid response capabilities of the WIND system have been demonstrated in support of SRP operations.
