Effects for ICBM Basing. Volume 5. Flow Field Modeling. Sanitized

Abstract

The effect of the ambient meteorology (temperature and dewpoint profiles) on the dynamics of a rising fireball and the plume from a large-area fire (firestorm) has been studied. The primary results indicate the importance of moisture for both phenomena and indicates that the ambient meteorology may grossly affect cloud stabilization and precipitation. The role of precipitation and its resultant scavenging remains to be investigated. Keywords: TASS(Terminal Area Simulation System).
