Development of an Improved Land-Surface Fallout Model

Abstract

A new concept in fallout models, the DOD Fallout Prediction System, is being designed and constructed to serve as a basis for the next generation of fallout prediction models. The model considers in detail the dynamics of cloud rise and growth and provides for fallout particle transport through a three-dimensional time variant atmosphere that includes analytical wind models of local circulation systems such as mountain winds and sea breezes. The model is being programmed for machine computation in a highly modular and flexible fashion to facilitate research usage of the program. Coding is being done exclusively in FORTRAN language.
