Long Range Model in DK

• DERMA (Danish Emergency Response Model of the Atmosphere)

• Interface from ARGOS can initiate and run the DERMA for download and dose calculation in ARGOS.

• DERMA will run on all available NWP area and will produce from 1 to 3 results

Slide 2

Today on intranet

• Automated Dispersion Calculation, time of arrival for closest NPP calculated 4 times daily.

Slide 13

Compare ensemble and the “best model” (In a dry scenario)

Slide 14

• Dispersion is complicated

• Ensemble modelling can help, but added value is properly most important when wet deposition is present.

• We need the experts
