• The official web site of COST 732: http://www.mi.uni-hamburg.de/index.php?id=464. I.a., it gives access to Background and Guidance documents produced by COST 732. See the section Official documents
• The Wiki on Atmospheric Dispersion Modelling: http://atmosphericdispersion.wikia.com . This Wiki is a site for pooling experiences of atmospheric dispersion modellers - for both researchers and users. It has a particular forum for COST 732: http://atmosphericdispersion.wikia.com/wiki/COST_732_forum
• Access to Excel spreadsheets with results from the MUST exercise. These spreadsheets were presented in the presentation by Silvana Di Sabatino.
