After successful preliminary tests in December and the first half of January, a fog dispersal operation was conducted operationaIIy at the Sarajevo airport. A seeding network of a combination of stationary and mobile liquid propane dispensers was used. Eleven seedings were performed, nine of them being successful (visibility above the required minimum) and two partially successful. Especially significant were the seeding operations at the airport on February 6 and 7, 1984 (the day before the opening of the Olympic Games) enabling the landing and taking off of 30 airplanes, permitting the scheduled opening of the games. Following preliminary confirmation of seeding effect on clouds over the skiing slopes on Mr. Bjelasnica, the visibility reducing clouds were effectively cleared during the official downhill competition on February 16, 1984.

Although refined modelling techniques and models have been developed to overcome many of ISC3's limitations, replacements of the ISC3 model has only recently been proposed for regulatory applications in the US. The widespread use of the more advanced models faces a number of practical hurdles. Nevertheless, there are specific situations in which the use of such models is both necessary and advantageous to industry and regulatory agencies. Industry needs to understand when and where to apply these models. Experience, gained by the authors applying the CALPUFF modelling system, is used to illustrate the use of refined air-dispersion models. La plupart des agences de reglementation au Canada et aux Etats-Unis se fient actuellement au modele ISC3 comme modele de travail pour evaluer la qualite de l'air en rapport avec les polluants non reactifs. Bien que des techniques de modelisation et des modeles perfectionnes aient ete elabores afin de surmonter bon nombre des limites de l'ISC3, on n'a que recemment propose de remplacer le modele ISC3 pour les applications reglementaires aux Etats-Unis. L'emploi generalise des modeles les plus perfectionnes fait face a un certain nombre d'obstacles dans la pratique. Neanmoins, il existe des situations particulieres ou l'emploi de ces modeles est a la fois necessaire et avantageux pour l'industrie et les agences de reglementation. L'industrie doit savoir ou et quand appliquer ces modeles. L'experience acquise par les auteurs lors de l'application du systeme de modelisation CALPUFF sert a illustrer l'emploi des modeles perfectionnes de dispersion dans l'atmosphere.
