 | Method for defining evacuation areas for accidental spills of toxic chemicals are presented. These spills can present serious health hazards to people exposed to excessive vapor concentrations downwind of the accident. An empirical diffusion equation is used to calculate the downwind hazard distance. The width of the toxic corridor, specified in angular degrees centered along the mean wind direction, is based upon the variability of the wind direction. Flexibility in ... |

| An Operational Decision Model (ODM) is a way of maximizing the operational utility of a weather sensitive system while minimizing long term average costs. This report evaluates the application of ODMs to an RPV operation. Specifically, it compares launch decisions made with standard decision criteria with launch decisions made by three ODMs developed from BQM-34A operational cost data as a function of important categories of weather and Holloman AFB records ... |
