<br />............. <br />. ... <br /> <br />t <br />... <br /> <br />.. <br />j <br /> <br /> <br />P. Hurley <br />Page 2 <br />March 7, 1984 <br /> <br />The major problem in incorporating band seeding in the <br />Moroccan pro:ject design is the lack of information on the frequency <br />and intensity of convective bands in that area. One suggestion <br />for a quick look at the presence of bands would be to immediately <br />ship six or eight recording raingages to be installed along <br />the coastal plain from Rabat to Casablanca and possibly some <br />on the plateau north of the Atlas Mountains. If we could only <br />get two months data from mid March to mid May we might be able <br />to get some clues as to the band climatology. This would be <br />of significant value in designing a program for next winter. <br />Our experience in Santa Barbara showed it was quite easy to <br />detect bands from recording raingage records based on rainfall <br />intensity and continuity of movement through the network. <br /> <br />This effort would be quite inexpensive and could be started <br />immediately. I assume the Bureau would have recording ra ing ag es <br />available. If not, we have eight or nine recording gages that <br />could be made available and shipped within a week by air freight <br />to Morocco. <br /> <br />Let me know if we can be of assistance. <br /> <br />Sincel~.elY' <br />L-. ~ .. <br />.-// <br /> <br />Keith J.
