Short term vs Long term (Atmospheric release)

[Dan Hamilton <dshamilt@umich.edu>]

What is the difference between short term and long term release?  How are
they defined? and what published reference can you give that shows these
definitions?

Also, what ultimately dictates whether an atmospheric release is considered
 short term or long term?
