Re: Resuspension Factors

[Bernard L Cohen <blc+@pitt.edu>]

	A ggoog starting place is the Department of Energy book on 
"Atmospheric Science and Power Production" , D. Randerson (Ed),1984.Its 
earlier version, Meteorology and Atomic Energy never left my desk over 
several years. Chap. 12, on "Deposition and Resuspension" is about 50 pages.
