The MACCS2 code modeled weather for transport and dispersion by sampling a database of 8760 hourly weather data covering one full year. The Typical Meteorological Year for the Albuquerque International Airport (Sunport), as developed by the National Climatic Center, was chosen as representative site weather data (Aldrich et al. 1982). This same weather file has been used for CRAC and MACCS dose versus distance calculations in TA-V SARs since 1980.
