Project Sagebrush Phase 1 (PSB1) InformationProject Sagebrush Phase 1 was conducted at the Idaho National Laboratory during October 2013, consisting of five SF6 releases on five days, so-called Intensive Observation Periods (IOPs), all occurring in the afternoon under either neutral stability conditions and high wind speeds or unstable conditions and low wind speeds. The sampling network consisted of concentric arcs located 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 m away from the release location. The tracer was released at a constant rate over two-and-a-half hours and sampling started 30 min after the release, producing 10-min average measured concentrations.
