ATDD: 50 years of weather stations, atmospheric dispersion and a forecast of sunny skies

The Atmospheric Turbulence & Diffusion Division (ATDD) is one of the oldest research laboratories within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). ATDD is a division within NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory (ARL). In supporting ARL, ATDD is part of ORAU’s scope of work.

ORAU’s 50-year partnership with ATDD has thrived through innovation.

Calculated innovation: ORAU health physicist develops app to guide survey planners to best tools, techniques

An ORAU health physicist had an idea to standardize and simplify the complex steps and mathematics that go into preparing for a radiation survey because it would help countless health physicists who do the same kind of work.
