PlumeRAE is a unique portable plume management and prediction system that enables first responders to rapidly track airborne clouds of gas and other toxic materials. Available from RAE Systems, PlumeRAE is an integrated system that combines the AreaRAE GPS sensors in a Rapid Deployment Kit, plume measurement software from SAFER Systems, and Coastal Environmental Systems' WEATHERPAK, a portable tripod-mounted weather station, giving first responders decision support capabilities when determining the best course of action. With this system, users can view a model of the toxic plume, including the spread, the speed and direction the plume is heading, as well as the concentrations of the toxic materials contained in the plume.
