abstract = {Meteorological measurement programs at nuclear
installations arc necessary to cope-up with an unlikely
event of- radioactive effluent release. Apart from the point
of view of the emergency preparedness, at a nuclear
facility, continuous meteorological measurements are needed
to assess the impact of radioactive releases during normal
operation. More realistic dispersion estimation models
require meteorological inputs pertaining to the boundary
layer which can not he completely fulfilled by a
meteorological tower alone as the boundary layer height may
extend up to 1000m. Also these models, when dealing with
complex terrains, accommodate spatial variability in
meteorological conditions (10). The Sound Detection And
Ranging technique known as the SODAR technique to measure
vertical temperature structure in the lower atmosphere
became popular since around 1970. With the advancements in
the fields of electronics and computers, the Sodar technique
got developed and monostatic Doppler Sodars were built by
many research and commercial organizations. Around the year
1985 many commercial establishments were offering Doppler
Sodars to measure three dimensional wind components up to a
height of about I000m. At the end of 1986 a REMTECH
monostatic Doppler Sodar system was procured by the KFA and
since then it has been in operation in the KFA environment.
The system was extensively used at the foot of the hill
'Sophienhoehe' in connection with series of tracer
dispersion experiments conducted at the hill site. At other
times the system was operated in the KFA premises where a
I20m high meteorological tower is in operation. Results of
many specially performed tests (1,2,3,4,6,7,8,11,12) to
study the usefulness and reliability of Doppler Sodars
indicate that these are superior in many respects to several
conventional measuring techniques though the Sodars are not
yet accepted to be as basic as the conventional instruments.
In this report the description and the operating principles
of the Doppler Sodar at the KFA are briefly described and
outputs from the routine operation of the Sodar are compared
with the concurrently measured data on the 120m high KFA
meteorological tower. Three sets of data, varying from
periods of ten clays to 18 days, are used for the
comparison.},
