Many people wonder which direction will the cloud / clouds escaping from the reactors that are Japanese. So, I thought to interview the weatherman. Here's what she said Luca Lombroso, technical head of the Geophysical Modena meteorologist and forecaster and member of the Italian Meteorological Society (http://www.nimbus.it/). E 'known to have participated as an expert on many television meteorologist. And, last but not least, is one of the few Italians who have achieved the historic graduation of "nuclear expert" back in 1983 (http://www.nucleari83.org/).
Luke, what came from the reactors?
First you must specify that it is impossible to say what came out of the reactors, which kinds of particles. The heavy particles tend to fall in the surrounding area, the lighter ones to disperse in the atmosphere and reach high altitudes. Are those intended to "travel" more. Of greatest concern are those relating to waste fission and radioactive waste.
What kind is the cloud that we saw?
Even this is not known: one can only judge on television. A feeling is not too high. Which is better for us but definitely worse for the Japanese citizens.
could go around the world?
The Chernobyl cloud, although very different from this, has toured the world several times. With appropriate tools, there are still residues of cesium in various glaciers in the layers coincide with the 1986.
Can you give us an estimate?
Of course not! But I can make even the most broad movements in the atmosphere. The air is now over Japan, could be on the east coast of the United States between about 7 / 8 days, in an area roughly stretching from Mexico to Alaska. After that, it could take any direction north, including to Canada and Greenland, and later the North Atlantic. To Europe, I'd say about 14/15 days.
It would end up being poisoned?
Again, from what we know about the spill is too limited because the particles come so far in significant quantities. It is to consider that, throughout the flight, will scatter everywhere and here get very little. This always surprises unless otherwise stated and unless the missing information.
Some say that the current can not reach the North Pole. What do you say?
What is not so. The air can go anywhere really, has no border, is incredible trails.
You can make a forecast for Japan?
Unfortunately, Japan can be much more precise. Snow is expected in the coming hours for Tokyo and the surrounding central Fukushima. And it is the worst news in terms of weather: snow is falling all over the ground, and remains there. Luca Lombroso
