The information from these dispersion modeling studies will be used to estimate the potential exposure of various populations around ground zero, providing input for epidemiological assessments of possible health impacts resulting from this exposure. Several important lessons were learned from this work: It is important to do routine meteorological observations and modeling in major cities so that you can develop an understanding of the local-scale flow features before an emergency event occurs.

· The simple observation of which way the wind is blowing is very important for some purposes, for example, to tell people where they should be monitoring for possible exposure and health impacts.
