<br />April 15, 1985 meeting of participants. This report together with simi- <br /> <br />lar but less comprehensive information independently available to each <br /> <br />of the participants will be essential in properly guiding the analysis. <br /> <br />The analysis program subdivides naturally into three areas. First <br /> <br />there are the analyses of SF6 concentration data and constant volume <br /> <br />balloon trajec~ories which come from the seeding material delivery <br /> <br />experiments. Second, there are the analyses of remote sensing and other <br /> <br />data collected in the cloud physics and kinematics experiments. Third, <br /> <br />there are studies of certain meteorological and radar data to provide <br /> <br />supporting information for the other analyses and to establish the c1ima- <br /> <br />tological context of the 1985 field program. This last area of analysis <br /> <br />is described fi rst below. <br /> <br />a. Climatological and supporting analyses <br /> <br />Lead Scientist: Don A. Griffith, NAWC <br /> <br />Participating Scientists: Richard Benner, H. Robert Swart, NAWC <br /> <br />A thorough study will be made of the Adamsville rawinsonde data. At <br /> <br />the mandatory and significant levels information will be retrieved on <br /> <br />pressure, temperature, dewpoint, frostpoint, relative humidity, wind <br /> <br />velocity, potential temperature, and equivalent potential temperature. <br /> <br />Some of this information will be plotted on skew T-Iog p diagrams. <br /> <br />Calculations will be made of the wind velocity normal to the Tushar Mtns <br /> <br />barrier crest and at the height of the -5 C level. Time-pressure cross- <br /> <br />sections of rawinsonde data will be made for periods when clouds over the <br /> <br />Tushar Mtns have a non-zero chance of precipitating. (These periods of <br /> <br />"significant cloud cover" define the S TO RM which constitutes and defines <br /> <br />the unit of research in the 1985 field program.) Variables plotted on <br /> <br />these cross-sections will be height, temperature, dewpoint, frostpoint, <br /> <br />14 <br /> <br />~1 <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />/' .-, <br />'" <br />I <br />/ <br />/ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
