Meteorological data for the entire year of 1989 were collected at three sites that comprise the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory: Knolls site, Kesselring site, and Windsor site. These data are 15-min averages of wind speed, wind direction, standard deviation of wind direction, and temperature. Hourly averages were computed and used for all analysis. The Pasquill stability category was computed using procedures established by the Environmental Protection Agency. Joint frequency of wind speed, direction, and stability were computed and displayed as wind roses for each stability. The joint frequency tables are presented in the form that is appropriate as meteorological input for the AIRDOS-EPA dispersion model. 5 refs., 5 tabs.
