Accumulated dose rate = summation of hourly averages of absorbed dose rate Accumulation period: 13.3.2011 up to today |
|
❚ ❚ | ❚Accumulation of original data Missing values: ❚Accumulation of interpolated data:
Missing values are approximated since original data of average absorbed dose rate is not available for every hour. Missing data points are computed by linear interpolation.
∅Missing data at the beginning of the period:
Missing values at the beginning of the accumulation period (13.3.) will be set to 0.
All data taken into account in the accumulation is shown in the graph ‘interpolated raw data’ (top left button above the graph).
In those cases the calculated accumulation values show below the actual accumulation values. Regarding the assessment of the timeline: Radiation releases during the initial hydrogen explosions. |
The red graph shows the accumulation of 0,114 μGy/h based on an estimated average for Japan of 1000 μGy per year (equates 0,114 μGy/h *24 hours * 365 days). The accumulation starts with the first available value of the data set after 13.3.2011 (see missing values above). | |
The green graph shows the accumulation of Vmax. The accumulation starts with the first available value of the data set after 13.3.2011 (see missing values above). |
