DRI Personnel Involved in Field Operations <br /> <br />The following is a list of DRI personnel who were involved in various ways <br /> <br />in 1991 field operations. All personnel except Dr. Wetzel spent at least some <br /> <br />time in the Wasatch Plateau field res~arch area. Questions related to the data <br /> <br />collected or processed by the DRI can be addressed to Mr. Arlen Huggins. <br /> <br />Name <br />Mr. Arlen W. Huggins <br /> <br />Title/Task <br />Principal scientist/oversee all DRI work, radi- <br />ometer operation. Desert Research Institute, <br />P.O. Box 60220, Reno, Nevada 89506; 702-677-3124. <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Smith <br /> <br />Radiometer technician/radiometer modification, <br />testing, and initial setup. <br /> <br />Mr. Paul Lage <br /> <br />Radar engineer/Ka-band radar maintenance and <br />operation. <br /> <br />Mr. John Cooper <br /> <br />Radar technician/radiometer operation, Ka-band <br />radar maintenance, power generator maintenance. <br /> <br />Dr. Melanie A. Wetzel <br /> <br />Asst. Research Professor. McIDAS data collec- <br />tion, ER-2 flight coordination. <br /> <br />B. Identification of Significant Storm Periods <br /> <br />Although some of the 1991 research experiments involving transport and <br /> <br />dispersion of cloud seeding material were conducted during non-storm periods, <br /> <br />data collected during cloudy or stormy events will receive the most attention, <br /> <br />particularly in the evaluation of SLW development. <br /> <br />A review of radiometer <br /> <br />observations has produced a subset of days, from the two-month field season on <br /> <br />_",.._~."h..".,,-_......_.-__'i,,-.~.,,-.. <br /> <br /> <br />which significant clouds or precipitation occurred.
