What are the unique features of ADORA?
The Physical Model: 1. Clouds can be modeled as fireballs and tails to represent more faithfully the well-known field observations of a mushroom shaped fireball with a stem underneath. 2. The chemical reaction rate is related to entrainment or mixing. 3. ADORA has a module for the rise of an instantaneously released buoyant cloud. 4.A lift-off model for buoyant clouds has been implemented. 5. Transition from dense cloud dispersion to buoyant cloud rise and to passive dispersion. The Chemical Aspect: 1. The identities and amounts of toxic species in the cloud are determined as a function of time as the released chemicals are converted to new ones 2.
