CARI Software
There seem to be people who don't like the CARI package, and it would be
nice if it was available in a Windows version, but it works, and if you are
like me and have to model high-altitude doses as part of the pre-flight
arrangements for a university high-altitude atmospheric research team who
fly regularly at 45000 - 60000 feet, you a grateful the program was developed.
I have to do the modelling as a flight requirement of the Australian Civil
Aviation Safety Authority licensing requirements for the high-altitude
research aircraft the university uses.
I have also had to produce a short manual explaining the risks/hazards of
ionizing radiation and the requirements for the pre-flight modelling and
the wearing of a special dosimeter pack.
The pack is not perfect, given the spectra, but it is reasonable and was
developed by the monitoring service of ARPANSA (Aus Radn Protectn & Nuclear
Safety Authority). ARPANSA people have also worked with commercial airlines
in Aus on the dose to crew and passengers.
I do agree with one comment - the heliocentric potentials from the FAA web
site are months behind!
