I rN Station was moved: 3/61 Measurement height: 6.1 meters (20 feet). Wind roses: High-speed westerly or northwesterly winds up the Columbia gorge are most common here. Low speed winds are remarkablyuniform in their distribution. Figure 3.1 illustratesthe wind roses for this station.

Final report on the meteorological database, December 1944--1949. Hanford Environmental Dose Reconstruction Project

“…Air concentrations and surface deposition are used in estimating dose. This final report supersedes the interim report by Stage et al (1993) and fulfills HEDR Project 1_ lestone 0405B.…”

“…This letter report describes the final status of the meteorological database used by RATCHET and supersedes the interim report by Stage et al (1993). The report describes the data collection procedures and the preparation and control of the meteorological database.…”

“…Section 3.0 includes text discussing local effects as seen in the roses and histograms. Stage et al (1993) presented preliminary wind roses for some of the HEDR meteorological stations based on data recorded at three-hour intervals and taken from the portion of the HEDR meteorological database available at the time of that report. For most stations, those preliminary wind roses are similar to the final HEDR wind roses shown in Section 3.0.…”

“…The roses shown in this report are based on the final HEDR meteorological database. The roses shown in this final report should be used, rather than those from Stage et al (1993) when considering the effects of meteorological conditions on concentration and deposition rates produced by RATCHET.…”

A review of wind field models for atmospheric transport

“…The meteorological _ecords available for the HEDR study period are described by Stage et al (1993). These records contain data from surface meteorological observations.…”
