DOE/DOD Environmental Data Bank

The purpose of this paper is to describe an engineering analysis support activity which involves the collection, analysis, storage, and retrieval of technical environmental information. This information is at the disposal of system and component analysts for use in formulating initial conditions, forcing functions and performance requirements for numerous hardware application evaluations. This paper will describe the Engineering Environmental Data Bank system which provides this information service to many Sandia Laboratories' technical analysis efforts and other qualified programs. Its structure and data sources will be summarized. 2 refs., 1 fig.
