Abstract
After the Chernobyl accident, the French Weather Service had a few means to answer the questions from political authorities and press concerning the evolution of the toxic cloud. At that time, only a trajectories model was available. So, though this mean is very useful for retro trajectories, we have developed an Eulerian Model of Dispersion in the Atmosphere (Piedeliévre et al., 1990).
