. Continued monitoring of the GOM progress in successfully implementing
recommendations 1 and 2 above, and if the monitoring indicates that the GOM is
successfully continuing Programme AI Ohait, then the United States should consider
limited additional assistance in the areas of:

. Statistical evaluation studies.
. Improved application of numerical precipitation and air flow models.
. Expanded and improved cloud physics aircraft data collection and analysis.
. Improved radar data collection and analysis.
. Mesoscale analyses and storm system seedability studies.
. Expanded and improved hydrologic and economic applications studies.

In summary, the joint Moroccan-American Programme AI Ghait has been a successful program of
technical assistance and technology transfer. It has resulted in the establishment of a well-trained
team of meteorologists and technicians who are able to conduct scientific weather modification
operations and physical and evaluation studies on data collected. This type of scientific exchange
has benefited the Moroccan meteorological service and the international meteorological community
through the increased scientific observational capabilities and the basic knowledge gained from the
project's scientific studies. These new ohservational capabilities will contribute new data to the
international community to better understand daily weather and global climate.
