5. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER The areas of technology transfer for the AARRP included equipment operations and maintenance, dynamic cold cloud seeding principles and experimental studies, warm cloud seeding experimental studies, planning and conducting randomized field research experiments, data collection and processing, cloud modeling studies, scientific data analysis, and experimental evaluation. The transfer of technology to Thai project staff was accomplished through technical assistance provided by Reclamation experts and technical personnel, Reclamation PASA subcontractors, and NASA contractors. 5.1 Technical Assistance by Reclamation Personnel Reclamation's technical team that worked on the AARRP, the labor effort for each team member, and the primary tasks performed by each team member, are listed in table 5.1. The tasks listed in table 5.1 were performed within the 12 PASA budget categories listed under the heading "Reclamation PASA Direct" in table 4.2. The total labor effort of 3155 days is comprised of 2876 days for the technical team members plus 279 days for nontechnical support. The technical team's labor effort included days during the period when the PASA was suspended, which were covered by NASA contributions. The cost for Reclamation salaries for all labor under the PASA is listed in table 4.1; Reclamation labor costs covered by NASA contributions are listed in table 4.2.
