User`s guide for PLTWIND Version 1.0: PC-based software for generating plots of monitored wind data and gridded wind fields for Hanford emergency response applications

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

This document is a user`s guide for the PLoT Near-Surface WIND (PLTWIND) modeling system. PLTWIND is a personal-computer-based software product designed to produce graphical displays of Hanford wind observations and model-generated wind fields. The real-time wind data processed by PLTWIND are acquired from the mainframe computer system at the Hanford Meteorology Station and copied to PLTWIND systems by the Hanford Local Area Network (HLAN). PLTWIND is designed fbr operation on an IBM-compatible PC with a connection to the HLAN. An HP-compatible pen plotter or laser printer (with a minimum of 1.5 megabytes of memory and a Plotter-in-a-Cartridge hardware) is required … continued below

PLTWIND is designed fbr operation on an IBM-compatible PC with a connection to the HLAN. An HP-compatible pen plotter or laser printer (with a minimum of 1.5 megabytes of memory and a Plotter-in-a-Cartridge hardware) is required to generate hardcopies of PLTWTND`s graphical products. PLTWM`s products are intended for use by emergency response personnel in evaluating atmospheric dispersion characteristics in the near-surface environment. Model products provide important atmospheric information to hazard evaluators; however, these products are only tools for assessing near-surface atmospheric transport and should not be interrupted as providing definitive representation of atmospheric conditions.
