Survey and Evaluation of Field Data Suitable for Smoke Hazard Model Evaluation

摘要

This report presents a summary and critical evaluation of the existing data on the dispersion of military smokes. Emphasis is placed on fog oil smokes in terms of the measurement of concentration, dosage, particle size distribution, and mass deposition rate. The suitability of the available data for evaluating atmospheric dispersion models for health and environmental impacts purposes is marginal. Several questions remain as to the adequacy of the sampling techniques used and the validity of some of the supporting meteorological data. The best of the existing data on fog oil smoke dispersion were acquired during the Smoke Week III and IV experiments. (Author)
