<br />7hese modeling results and ~he favorable results obtained <br />in the on-going Southern Utah progra~ argue for a design using <br />a network of about 50 ground-based seeding units. Suggested <br />seeding locations are shown in Figure 5.9. Four remotely- <br />controlled, high elevation seeding units are included. The <br />modeling studies suggest that the manually controlled sites <br />in the central valley (from Manti to Panguitch) should only <br />be used wi~h light winds aloft. Otherwise, seeding effects <br />would occur to the lee of the Wasatch Plateau. Similarly. <br />the wes~er~-most seeding sites should be used to affect the <br />front ranges of the Wasatch Plateau. <br /> <br />Personnel requirements include a meteorologist and a <br />part time technician. In addition to assisting in installation <br />and removal of the seeding network, the technician would also <br />perform rawinsonde soundings from the operation base in Cedar <br />City. <br /> <br />Cost estimates for M1 and M2 <br /> <br />Table 5.10. <br /> <br />Compared to the cost <br /> <br />type designs are given in <br />estimates for the North <br /> <br />Central Division, these estimates are higher primarily because <br />of the four remotely controlled seeding units, which are consider- <br />ably ~ore expensive than manual seeding units and also more <br />difficult to service due to their remote, high altitude locations. <br />The anticipated seeding increment is 20 percent (M2). <br /> <br />5-30 <br />
