As part of the PTS small-scale focused tests, a PTS-WMO exercise is foreseen. A computer model constructs artificial measurements at IMS RN stations after a hypothetical nuclear test. The release location will be the epicentre of a selected SEL3 event (for the purpose of the test this event will be considered as a simulated REB event). Based on the computer model, the IDC will issue “Requests for Support” to WMO Regional Specialized Meteorological Centres (RSMCs). The RSMCs will send their backtracking results to the IDC (This should be done as if after EIF). The IDC will fuse these results with the simulated REB event. Daily updated interactive source location and fusion results will be produced and attached to the IDC Secure Web Page for access by authorised users.

Elements under testing: WMO atmospheric backtracking response system, Atmospheric Transport Modelling and data fusion at the IDC.
