It . instrumentation and techniques will be more advanced in some ways. Statistical studies will still be made in 1985 using appropriate parts of the data sets in order to establish the context of the case studies. The statistical studies will also allow some important comparisons of 1985 data with those of earlier years. Table 1 lists the groups participating in the field program and the instrumentation, observational capability, or other service each will supply in the field. The Utah Division of Water Resources is the prime contractor. The remaining groups are subcontractors to UDWR. They will supply instrumentation and other capabilities for conventional meteoro- logical observations, for tracing and tracking of the air flow toward, over, and around the Tushar Mtns, and for remote sensing and surface observations of the clouds and precipitation. North American Weather Consultants is providing the Field Director for the program and the Desert Research Institute is providing th4~ Field Scientist. Figure 1 shows the locations of the Y'esearch instrumentation. Much of the instrumentation is located on or near the Tushar Mtns in order to provide high resolution information on thE~ clouds and precipitation. This operations plan is organized as follows. Section 2 describes the State of Utah operational cloud seeding project to be conducted simultaneously with the research program. Section 3 outlines the orga- nization, work schedule, and personnel requirements of the field program. Section 4 describes the resealr"ch support, including weather forecasts, that will be provided to the field program. Section 5 de- scribes the seeding material delivery experiments. Section 6 describes the cloud physics and kinematics experiments. Section 7 describes the data management plan. Section 8 treats logistics matters. Appendix A . It . . . .' . . 3 .
