ESRL helps develop a response system for airborne threats

ESRL’s Rich Jesuroga pulled up a map of Fort Worth, Texas on his computer, and clicked the mouse once in a suburb. “Suppose there’s a toxic release here,” he said. Within one minute, Jesuroga, a researcher in ESRL’s Global Systems Division, learned that prevailing conditions would swirl the imaginary airborne toxin west. Within two minutes, he traced a polygon over the “hottest” part of the ...

TOXFLAM online

TOXFLAM is a software code based on an analytical solution to the atmospheric dispersion equation for inert substances that may undergo a first-order chemical or physical decay and have a density that is similar to the air density (Bianconi and Tamponi, 1993). This general analytical solution to the dispersion equation describes releases of any duration in a finite mixing layer. The ...
