Abstract
Abstract The smoke plume from the Kuwait oil fires of 1991 has been examined as a mesoscale tracer experiment. We have used aircraft and satellite data to evaluate computer models of the meteorology and particle or smoke dynamics. The event of March 28, 29 1991 has been studied because UKMO Meteorological Research Flight data were available. The meteorological fields (notably wind) have been determined from the UK FINE MESH model by IC and UKMO scientists and from the Regional Atmospheric Model System (RAMS) by ASTeR scientists. The particle models used have included the 3-Dimensional Random Walk (3-DRAW) model (IC) and the Nuclear Accident (NAME) model (UKMO). An Eulerian depiction of smoke concentrations has been obtained using the RAMS model.
