	Complete Document (in development)

	Section 1 - Introduction to the RSMC specialization for the provision of atmospheric transport model products for environmental emergency response and/or backtracking

	Section 2 - Arrangements for requesting and receiving atmospheric transport model products from an RSMC

	Section 3 - Aim of an atmospheric transport model in connection with numerical weather prediction (NWP) model (scientific information)

	Section 4 - Users' interpretation guide for atmospheric transport model products provided by RSMCs

	Section 5 - Annexes
		Annex 1 -Regional and global arrangements for the provision of transport model products for environmental emergency response
		Annex 2 - Contacts for - Designated RSMCs for nuclear accidents and radiological emergencies and International Organisation - Designated RSMCs with specialization in atmospheric transport modelling for environmental emergency response and/or backtracking and International Organization
