Obtaining this program goal involved the provision of equipment and <br />technical training, and the conduct of exploratory meteorological studies required for the <br />development ofthe design and operations plan for Phase 2 of the AARRP, the demonstration <br />project. The U.S. Govemment was responsible for achieving the program goaL <br /> <br />As a result of the U.S. Govemment's financial contributions, all approved equipment, <br />including a Doppler weather radar system, an aircraft cloud physics DAS (data acquisition <br />system), a network of recording rain gauges, a minicomputer, and various microcomputers <br />with software, has been delivered and installed. U.S. Govemment experts have provided <br />training on the operation and maintenance of this equipment. In addition, five Thai project <br />personnel completed graduate training in meteorology at universities in the U.S., and in- <br />country training was provided in basic radar technology, conducting scientific field research <br />operations, data collection and processing, and data analyses required for the design of the <br />demonstration project. <br /> <br />The total cumulative funding authorized in the USAID-Reclamation PASA through <br />Amendment 11 was $3,804,300.
