OSTI ID:6409904
An interactive computer system for meteorological data acquisition and environmental impact modeling has been developed for emergency response and planning applications by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory. The system uses a minicomputer to acquire meteorological data from automated monitoring sites, conduct data processing, and archive data. Personal computer (PC) workstations are used to retrieve archived data from the minicomputer, generate displays of meteorological data, model the atmospheric dispersion and deposition of potential atmospheric releases, and produce high-resolution, color graphics to display model output. User-friendly menus and forms make the system easy to use and the single-user environment on the PC workstation allows for fast and consistent model performance. 3 refs., 5 figs.
