CHAWS (Chemical Hazard Warning System) user's guide: System description and standard operating procedures, Lexington-Blue Grass Army Depot
- eds.
The Chemical HAzard Warning System (CHAWS) has been designed to collect meteorological data and to display, in real time, hazardous chemical dispersion as a result of an accidental release. Meteorological sensors are placed strategically around each installation and are used to calculate direction and hazard distance for the release. These data are then graphically displayed on a computer screen showing a site map and arrows depicting the release direction and distance traveled. A regular workday at a Chemical Hazard Warning System (CHAWS) site consists of many activities. This chapter gives a brief overview of what is necessary to run the system on a daily basis. Other chapters of this manual present more details of the hardware and software found at the CHAWS sites so that troubleshooting and maintenance can be performed on the system. Also, manuals have been provided for the hardware manufactured by HANDAR and the computer companies. This manual is meant to serve as a supplement to those hardware manuals. Personnel operating the CHAWS system should be familiar with the MS-DOS system.
