"ATDD Programs and Activities in Oak Ridge"
Dr. Tilden P. Meyers, Director of the Atmospheric Turbulence and 
Diffusion Division (ATDD) of the National Oceanographic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Oak Ridge

Abstract: 
The Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) is 
one of several field divisions of the National Oceanographic and 
Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Air Resources Laboratory, 
headquartered in Silver Spring, MD. ATDD began as a Weather Bureau 
Special Projects research office established in 1948 under AEC
sponsorship in Oak Ridge, and still serves as a source of meteorological 
information and expertise for the DOE and its contractors in Oak Ridge. 
However, ATDD's main function is to perform air quality and 
climate-related research directed toward issues of national and global
importance. ATDD has a permanent staff of 30 (primarily Federal and 
contract), including thirteen scientists, eight engineers, six scientific and 
technical support staff, and three administrative support staff. ATDD 
frequently hosts graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and
international visitors for varying intervals. Research is performed with 
the aid of personnel of the Independent Environmental Assessment and 
Verification (IEAV) division of ORAU, and in close collaboration with 
scientists and engineers from ORNL and numerous other organizations, 
government agencies, universities, and private research institutions.
