Re-Engineering the Savannah River Site WIND System
'The Savannah River Site (SRS) emergency response consequence assessment capability, called the Weather INformation and Display (WIND) System, has been re-engineered. The WIND system (WINDS) was developed in the early 1970''s to provide atmospheric monitoring and modeling to calculate the consequences of the transport and diffusion of materials in the environment as a result of operations at the SRS. Recent technological advances have been utilized to re-engineer the WIND System, changing it from a centralized to a distributed computing system. This change is designed to improve the stability and reliability of the WIND system computers; to increase the capture percentages of the meteorological data; to improve the robustness of data transfer and storage; to decrease the cost of the system operations, and to better facilitate the operator interface. An overview of the re-engineering will be presented.'
