A meteorological information system is operated at the Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK). It consists of a tower equipped with instruments and a data processing system. An essential feature of software is the real-time computation of the local and temporal distribution of near-ground activity concentrations in the environment of KfK. After accidental activity releases, the display of concentration distribution serves to initiate concerted intervention.
