Traditionally, atmospheric refraction is compensated for by an atmospheric dispersion compensator (ADC). ADC control relies on an a priori model of the atmosphere whose parameters are solely based on ...

Source Term Estimation (STE) and atmospheric dispersion modeling are critical components in managing environmental hazards, particularly in the context of gas leaks and pollution. These ...

IRSN helped develop crucial atmospheric dispersion models for use in nuclear accidents. Pictured is the spread of the radioactive plume after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Most countries have a ...

Dr Hort, who is a Principal Fellow at the Met Office specialising in airborne hazards, has received an OBE for services to atmospheric dispersion science and emergency response. The Earth’s ...
