System and method for source identification for a chemical release
Abstract:
A system for predicting a source location and release rate of a hazardous substance uses the basic knowledge of meteorological information (wind speed, direction, and stability) and two or more concentration measurements of the chemical released. Horizontal dispersion information obtained from surface meteorological data at sensor locations are used to narrow the search domain for the release location, reducing the computational cost. Each of the possible release locations in the search domain and possible release rates are evaluated in a process that predicts a concentration measurement at a sensor, based on a predicted location and release rate. The location and release rate that results in a least error when compared to an actual concentration measurement at the sensor are chosen as the source of the chemical and the release rate from the source.
