• Title: 1985-86 CRADP Data Inventory - Grand Mesa
• Date: 7/1/1986
• County: Mesa
• State: CO
• Weather Modification - Doc Type: Report

INTRODUCTION

The DARR (Division of Atmospheric Resources Research) conducted their 1985-86
field operations for CRADP (Colorado River Augmentation Demonstration Program)
during November 1985 - March 1986, with some observations in October and
April.

The purposes of the 1985-86 CRADP field season were to:
(1) improve understanding of supercooled liquid water production and
depletion,
(2) improve understanding of low-level airflow over the Grand Mesa,
(3) improve understanding of transport and dispersion of seeding material,
(4) improve understanding of ice particle formation, growth, and fallout
following seeding, and
(5) test prototype remote-controlled seeding generators.

This document contains an inventory of data collected in association with the
1985-86 CRADP field season. Its purpose is to be a primary aid to researchers
by helping them acquire the necessary data for their particular analysis.

The format subdivides each section into a descriptive text which explains the
type of equipment used, modes of operation, locations of equipment, etc., and
either a table or tables of data inventories listing start and stop dates and
times of data collected.

It is the philosophy of the DARR to provide all available data that is
requested by the interested scientific community at cost. To expedite this
process, please send written requests for data to:

Bureau of Reclamation
Systems Development Branch, Code 0-1220
P.O. Box 25007, Denver Federal Center
