Meteorological Data Assimilation for ReaI-Time Emergency Response

https://narac.llnl.gov/uploads/Sugiyama1996_ANS_ADAPT_UCRL_125036_tkmug.pdf

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability (ARAC) provides real-time dose assessments of airborne pollutant releases. Diverse data assimilation techniques are required to meet the needs of a new
generation of ARAC models and to take advantage of the rapidly expanding availability of meteorological data. We are developing a hierarchy of algorithms to provide gridded
meteorological fields which can be used to drive dispersion codes or to provide initial fields for mesoscale models. Data to be processed include winds, temperature, moisture, and
turbulence.
