Application of the operational synoptic model for pollution forecasting in accidental situations

The widely used step-mountain (“ETA coordinate”) synoptic model is modified to include a prognostic equation for radionuclide transport, diffusion, decay, wet and dry deposition and tested on the Chernobyl case in semi-operational conditions. Results show that, with minimal changes, an operative syn...

Description
Summary:The widely used step-mountain (“ETA coordinate”) synoptic model is modified to include a prognostic equation for radionuclide transport, diffusion, decay, wet and dry deposition and tested on the Chernobyl case in semi-operational conditions. Results show that, with minimal changes, an operative synoptic model can double as a tool for forecasting of transboundary pollution in accidental situations.
