DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE LAND FALLOUT PREDICTION SYSTEM. VOLUME II - INITIAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

A set of initial conditions to serve as primary inputs to the Department of Defense Land Fallout Prediction System (DELFIC) is derived. The set consists of lower-boundary conditions for use by a cloud rise and growth simulation model. The conditions are time, temperature, soil burden, fraction of the soil burden in the vapor phase, and size-frequency distribution of fallout particles. The DoD Land Fallout Prediction System predicts local fallout patterns from land-surface nuclear detonations.
