Abstract
The meteorological control program instituted at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1947 includes a complete study of dispersion from an elevated source by means of an oil-fog test effluent. Measurements of oil-fog concentrations at ground-level have been made during a wide variety of meteorological conditions. The data accumulated in the first forty-six tests are summarized in this paper, together with pertinent meteorological information. A brief description of terrain, facilities, and procedure is also included.
Research carried out at Brookhaven National Laboratory under the auspices of the Atomic Energy Commission.
