Abstract
A demonstration network of surface meteorological stations was operated for two years (Jan 1988 – Dec 1989) in the vicinity of the Pickering NGS. The study was supported by the Atmospheric Environment Service, the Atomic Energy Control Board, the Ontario Ministries of the Solicitor General and of the Environment and by Ontario Hydro, with most of the work being undertaken by the authors and by AES personnel. The main objective of the exercise was to demonstrate the feasibility of deploying permanent, low cost but reliable, mesoscale meteorological networks (Mesonets) around Nuclear Generating Stations and other sites with the potential for the accidental release of toxic material into the atmosphere.
