Description
Summary:This dataset contains output from the dispersion model NAME (Numerical Atmospheric-dispersion Modelling Environment) generated by modelling the hypothetical eruption of two volcanoes (Hekla and Oraefajokull both in Iceland) and a radiological release from 12 different locations across Europe. The hypothetical eruption of Hekla is a 12km eruption lasting 24 hours and the hypothetical eruption of Oraefajokull is a 25km eruption lasting 24 hours. Each of the radiological releases is a 1PBq Cs-137 release over 6 hours. The scenarios were modelling using three different sets of met data from the Met Office unified model; data from the global deterministic forecast, data from the global ensemble forecast and data constructed to form a global analysis. Output from the runs is stored in gzipped tar files labelled <name>_scenario_<year><month>.tar.gz where <name> is hekla, orae (short for oraefajokull) or radiological. Each of these tarballs contains the output from all the runs with a release ...
