Laboratory teams lending high-tech skills to Hurricane Rita planning and response
Los Alamos scientists are assisting in the developing Hurricane Rita situation, both in the air and in the realm of virtual reality. On-scene in the Gulf Coast area, Laboratory spectroscopic equipment is airborne on the Environmental Protection Agency's ASPECT plane, which will be based out of San Antonio, while Laboratory critical infrastructure modeling teams in Decision Applications (D) and Computer and Computational Sciences (CCS) divisions have been hard at work.
