  1. ATD Research Needs and PrioritiesPanelists Dr. Jay Boris – Navy/NRL Mr. Walter Schalk – NOAA/ARL Mr. John Pace – DoD/DTRA Ms. Jocelyn Mitchell - NuRC Dr. David Bacon – SAIC Dr. Zafer Boybeyi - GMU

  2. Research Needs and Priorities • Most pressing needs • Needs easily reached • Understanding requirements to prioritize research needs • Coordination and collaboration of efforts

  3. Research Needs (OFCM Report) Source Characterization Chemical Mixtures Collaboration and Coordination Limits of Predictability Measurement Strategies Characterization of Urban Canopy Urban Dispersion The Planetary Boundary Layer PBL Modeling Errors Coastal Influences Concentration Variability Deposition Rates Resuspension Rates Cross-Media Interactions Chronic Health Effects Complex Terrain Indoor-Outdoor Interactions Nocturnal Boundary Layer Land Surface Models

  4. NRC StudyNational Coordinated Effort • New dispersion model constructs (computational) • Techniques for ensembles at urban scale-probabilistic information to user • Effective real time assimilation of meteorological and CBN sensor data • Urban field studies for meteorological and dispersion modeling • Bulk effects of urban area on surface energy, moisture, and momentum • Establish an operational urban forecasting and dispersion system; use as test bed for instrumentation and model evaluation and development • Develop measurement systems

  5. Research Needs and Priorities(Panel Abstracts) • Urban wind, turbulence, dispersion • Urban validation data • Integrate agent sensors into modeling systems • Characterize scales at, below, and above T&D scales • Observations – minimal set of obs required; in situ obs of thermal effects in cities • Acquire knowledge and develop models to evaluate local effects • Accuracy of PBL flows – daytime and other • Meteorological & tracer data in 3 dimensions • Uncertainty in models & inputs

  6. Research Needs and Priorities (Panel Abstracts) • Conveyance of the threat • Study local to regional scales • Coupling of mesoscale and dispersion modeling – on scene data

  7. Research Needs(Consolidated?) • Diurnal PBL Land surface models / heterogeneous lower BC Initial and Lateral BC Parameterizations at smaller grid sizes (horizontal & vertical) 4-D Measurements at high resolution Quantifying Errors and Uncertainty • Urban Dispersion Field and wind tunnel studies for validation data sets New model constructs Probabilistic information to user Effects on thermal, moisture, radiative, momentum at different scales Urban morphology

  8. Priorities • $$$$$ • Collaboration / Cooperation • Full Time Operational Urban Network Forecasting Dispersion modeling Real-time data assimilation into forecast & dispersion models Test bed Instrument development and evaluation Model performance evaluation Measurement strategies
