This type of activity is highly recommended. <br /> <br />· Long-term students should start their training at the beginning of the project so that their <br />findings contribute to the project design and they may participate in its operations and <br />evaluation. <br /> <br />· Scientific collaboration between individual Moroccan and American experts in cloud <br />physics, radar, numerical modeling, and field operations was found to be very effective <br />with scientific interaction in Morocco followed by continued research in the United States. <br />Frequent quarterly or trimester trips to Morocco and annual trips to the United States <br />were the most productive. This form of informal scientific interaction and educational <br />exchange was one of the most successful aspects of technology transfer and is highly <br />recommended for future projects. <br /> <br />· Peace Corps English language training was very successful and is recommended for future <br />projects. <br /> <br />Operations <br /> <br />· Sufficient time and resources for the conduct of field operations and the physical and <br />statistical evaluation of results should be incorporated into the original project design to <br />permit a comprehensive evaluation of the seeding effects so that the host country may <br />make sound scientific and economic decisions regarding the application of weather <br />modification as a water resources management option. <br /> <br />· Co-location of operational and research facilities such as aircraft, operations directors, <br />and scientific teams is highly recommended. <br /> <br />· A comprehensive equipment procurement, installation, inventory control, and training <br />plan is needed at the beginning of the project. This plan should include detailed training <br />needs for electronics and maintenance technicians and equipment managers. <br />
