Many of us in Japan checked each day the Norway Radiation dispersion model on the Internet site to monitor the situation, and determine if it was safe to walk outside especially on rainy days. However after a few months, Japanese govt. banned foreign media from getting any information regarding the Fukushima disaster, which meant that any measurements or true data were never released. However, "WeatherOnline" continued to release the simulation wind flow model with no data from the JPN govt. only being able to make guesses and assumptions as to the amount of radiation released. Eventually, after a few more weeks, perhaps added pressure from who knows where, The Norwegian Institute for Air Research "WeatherOnline" was forced to terminate their information from being online.

What little information provided by the electric company or JPN govt. were radiation figures which many believed to be off a few decimal places, or monitored / measured in obsolete places such as 30m above ground level, or picked out a few safe looking numbers among measurements taken at various points in a particular area (which I assume was happening).
There was another German site that gave similar simulation, but this site seems to have been also cut-off as of yesterday (Aug.2nd 2011)

Does anyone have any information as to what happened to this German site?
With no reliable information about wind flow and dispersion model of radiation particles, we are left in the dark not knowing when it's dangerous to walk outside. This may also be a way for the govt to stop us from being paranoid and get on with our lives. However, I think, physiologically it has the opposite effect.
