<br />The living expenses of the UNo-trained intern co-pilots were <br />provided jointly by the Atmospheric Resource Board and UNO. The <br />co-pilots were fully rated to fly Twin-comanches, and most were <br />certified flight instructors. This experience and training helped <br />ensure that they safely and effectively perform their duties in <br />following years. <br /> <br />3.4.2 Duties and Responsibilities <br />The field meteorologist is the nucleus of the overall <br />district operation. In general, the meteorologist must interpret <br />the various meteorological information, derive a conceptual <br />picture of what is happening, and direct seeding activities <br />accordingly. Also, the field meteorologist is expected to keep <br />the Director up-to-date on field activities, problems, etc., and <br />make the day-to-day decisions about seeding operations. <br />The project pilots are responsible for ensuring that their <br />aircraft and seeding equipment are in proper working order and are <br />ready to fly when called upon to do so. Project pilots also keep <br />records of chemical inventory and use as well as when and where <br />they fly. <br /> <br />3.5 Project statistics <br />Flight hours and chemical expenditures for the 1989-90 field <br />seasons are summarized in Tables 2 and 3. <br /> <br />-16- <br />
