ABSTRACT
South Africa’s only nuclear power station is situated at Koeberg on the west coast, about 30 km north of Cape Town. Wind direction, wind speed, rainfall and other meteorological data are collected continuously by the Koeberg weather station with a view to their use in radioactive plume modelling, inter alia. Four years of data were made available by the staff of the Koeberg weather station, and this chapter describes an attempt to model the wind direction at Koeberg by means of HMMs.
