Evaluation of the atmospheric transport models used for verification of the CTBT at the Provisional Technical Secretariate of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organisation
Abstract
For the verification of the Comprehensive [nuclear] Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) an organisation is buing built up in Vienna. The verification system will comprise inter alia a global radionuclide measurement system of 80 stations. Using atmospheric transport models, the possible source locations of eventual sources of radioactivity are to be determined. Models available for this task at the International Data Centre (IDC) of the CTBTO are to be evaluated. In particular, members of the expert group carry out their own simulations. IMP is working with the model FLEXPART in backward mode for that purpose.
