  skos:definition """The Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) is one
of several field divisions of NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory,
headquartered in Silver Spring, MD (see Division
Hierarchy). ATDD began as a Weather Bureau Special Projects
research office established in 1948 under Atomic Energy
Commission sponsorship in Oak Ridge, TN, and still serves as a
source of meteorological information and expertise for the
U. S. Department of Energy and its contractors in Oak
Ridge. However, ATDD's main function is to perform air
quality-related research directed toward issues of national and
global importance. Emphasis is on the lower
atmosphere. Objectives are to develop better methods for
predicting transport, dispersion, and air-surface exchange of
air pollutants; to extend the applicability of these methods to
increasingly realistic situations including nighttime cases,
complex terrain, and non-uniform surfaces; and to test the
methods against data to determine the confidence limits and
uncertainties which apply.

ATDD has a permanent staff of 30, including thirteen
scientists, eight engineers, six scientific and technical
support staff, and three administrative support staff. We
frequently host graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and
international visitors for varying intervals. Research is
performed with the aid of personnel of the Radiological Safety,
Assessment, and Training Division of Oak Ridge Associated
Universities (ORAU), and in close collaboration with scientists
and engineers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and
numerous other organizations, government agencies,
universities, and private research institutions.

ATDD is located at 456 South Illinois Avenue in Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, with a permanent research station about five miles
away, within Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Walker Branch
Watershed forested experimental area. Important on-site
facilities include a wind tunnel laboratory, machine shop,
electronics lab, and chemical instruments lab (all with design
and fabrication capabilities), and a specialized library.
