<br />1. Improve understanding of SLW (supercooled liquid <br />water) production and depletion: <br /> <br />Additional microwave radiometer observations will <br />be obtained from the Island Lake site to increase <br />the SLW "climatology." These data, to be measured <br />from November 1 to Oecember 13, will again be <br />related to windflow, upwind moisture content and <br />additional meteorological factors. Also, frequent <br />northwest to southeast scanning will be done during <br />storm periods to provide information on the <br />representativeness of vertical measurements from <br />the site. <br /> <br />2. Improve understanding of low-level airflow over the <br />Mesa: <br /> <br />The free airflow distortions caused by the Mesa "in <br />the lowest 0.5 km will be investigated, par- <br />ticularly during November-December. As <br />discussed by Boe and Super (1985), wind direc- <br />tions were predominatly southerly at 70 mAgI on <br />top of the Mesa during SLW episodes. <br /> <br />However, upwind free airflow was generally from <br />the SW (southwest). Limited aircraft observations <br />of SW flow at about 450 mAgI suggested veering <br />of the wind with elevation above the Mesa. It is <br /> <br />4 <br />
