Cyprus Institute says plume from Mari explosion dispersed in the Med

Research scientists at The Cyprus Institute have computed the atmospheric dispersion of debris from the Mari ammunition explosion on July 11 using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.
A high-resolution computational model of the atmosphere (3×3 km resolution) was used together with meteorological observations, starting at 6am local time.
The explosion cloud was computed by initialising the explosion aerosol plume up to a height of 5.5 km over the Mari site. The computer simulations revealed that at all height levels the plume was dispersed towards the Mediterranean Sea by the prevailing westerly winds, thus preventing fallout of debris over populated areas.
The results should be considered as accurate, always bearing in mind the computational uncertainties of the associated models, the study said.
