The Evolving Roles and Responsibilities of Federal Agencies in Providing Transport and Dispersion Support -- an ARL Perspective Bruce B. Hicks Director, Air Resources Laboratory NOAA, Silver Spring, MD USA 14 July

The intent is primarily to give information on where materials will go, and on where it would be safe to move to. ARL is NOAA’s end-to-end dispersion research organization. We start with theory and physical models, develop and use tracer systems, conduct outdoor laboratory studies, and provide quasi-operational products. Since 9/11, the focus has been on where and when people could be exposed. The dominant mission of NOAA: To provide forecasts to protect people, property and the environment. NOAA provides dispersion forecasts over all scales, from urban to global.

We need to learn how to integrate the results of physical modeling. This result simulates a smoke release from World Trade Center Site. Source – EPA/NOAA

Description of concentration extremes and fluctuations is a central issue. Existing capabilities address averages. We must now focus on acute as well as chronic doses. In the past, the focus has been on the study of concentration fields in intensive experiments. Today, we need to concentrate on exposures and doses for any set of circumstances. We need to learn how to make use of tracers of opportunity.

The ARL READY site is the community’s access point for NOAA dispersion products, as well as the latest meteorological information from a number of sources, presented in a user friendly manner. > 1500 non-NOAA registered users. Relied on by industry and academia, as well as many US agencies (DoD, NPS, NRC, etc.) Specifically favored by balloonists, yachtsmen, airline pilots, and emergency managers. Enabling field forecasts of dispersion from a central computer.

The idea is to make it easy for users to get high quality products. We start with a map We keep track of what users are interested in.

Forecasts for active forest fires are presented routinely. Satellite observations can now be accessed and integrated.

We need to make maximum use of local meteorological expertise. The National Weather Service has 122 Weather Forecast Offices that can provide dispersion forecasts on a 24x7 basis. Expert input is by reachback to dispersion scientists in NOAA Research (OAR).

We zoom in to a selected area, which then shows indices of vulnerability based on prevailing meteorological conditions. We can then call up the same products for the past and the future. This is for a beltway release,
