One of the major coces that was mocitied ts watHen?), itS Qurpose 1s to
agiust observed winds, using variational analysis methods, so as to conserve muss
from cell to cell. After modification, all observed uoper air wind data from 1) mto

33 Km were entered as input. This vas done for four time periods, using winds for
one to three observing stations for each time. The oovious advantages of this code
(over most other fallout codes) is that mass is not permitted to accumulate in anv of
the cells and wings are available for each 3-D call intersection for four times.
