Dispersion conditions change with time and location during transport. In particular, the time of day and the nature of the underlying surface affect the meteorological situation. We address first the dispersion conditions from the accident location to the southern coast of Finland. The corresponding straight-line distance is about 500 km (Fig. 40.1). No ice cover existed over the Gulf of Finland (situated between Finland and Estonia) at the time, except for sea areas very near the coastline.
