The intensity of rain (or indication of no rain);
An indicator of the atmospheric turbulence, generally in the form of "stability class",
such as the classical Pasquill-Gifford classes from A (unstable) to F (very stable).
Different techniques of sampling of these data, for the release sequences, are currently used:
Each hourly condition can be the starting point of the release;
Random sampling of the starting point of the release;
Cyclic sampling (with a chosen time interval);
Stratified sampling, where the meteorological sequences are grouped into a limited
number of categories (less time consuming technique).
9.5.5. Exposure pathways and dose assessment
The main exposure pathways, during and after the atmospheric dispersion, are:
External exposure from the passing puffs (or the passing plume);
External exposure from the deposited material on the ground;
Internal exposure by inhalation during the passage of the puffs (generally
committed doses to various organs and effective dose);
Internal exposure by ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs by dry and wet
deposition (generally committed doses to various organs and effective dose), firstly
by direct contamination and after by root uptake
For each pathway, dose coefficients (or dose conversion factors) published by national
institutes or by international organizations (like ICRP or IAEA) that allow conversion, for
