KWIK Smoke Obscuration Model: User's Guide.

Abstract

The KWIK smoke obscuration model, developed by the Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory, is available in eight versions. The following desktop computers are used to run the KWIK algorithms: HP9830A, HP9825A (with three versions), HP85, HP9845, and the APPLE II. A FORTRAN IV version is also available. All of these versions are basically the same, with the exception of the volume of fire table version, which runs on the HP9825A. This version produces munition expenditure tables based on relative humidity, screen lengths and times, and six atmospheric stability categories. This report describes each of these versions and how they can be run on the respective computers. A list of each program and its corresponding algorithm mnemonics is also presented. (Author)
