Abstract
The current state of numerical modeling allows detailed, accurate weather forecasting, as well as forecasting of the transport and dispersion of smoke plumes and gas clouds. However, emergency workers do not have access to such state-of-the-art information during large incidents. BMT ARGOSS and Geodan have developed an integrated system to provide emergency workers with weather and smoke plume forecasts, in a modern crisis management system based on a geographical information system.
