<br />radiometer to scan at different elevation angles cannot be evaluated <br />until a radar (K-band) capable of measuring effective cloud path length <br />can be co10cated with the radiometer. <br /> <br />8. The liquid water observations made at Squaw Peak need further inter- <br />pretation because of the problem of measuring wind speed accurately. <br />While we have found the Hydrotech wind sensor can survive a severe <br />environment, it has been discovered that it can be affected markedly by <br />the wi nds ang1 e of attack on the sensor. A series of tests on all <br />equipment in the NASA Lewis wind tunnel will be conducted to determine <br />the extent of this problem. <br /> <br />C. EXPERIMENTAL AREA FACILITIES <br /> <br />Figure 1-1 shows the SCPP primary study area and the two extended areas <br />where- effects from SCPP seeding may possibly occur. ThE~ central study area <br />for the SCPP-1 experiment includes that portion of the Pmerican River Basin <br />between U. S. Hi ghway No. 50 on the south, Interstate 80 on the north, the <br />Sierra Crest on the east, and a parallel 1 ine between Auburn, Californi a, <br />and Shingle Springs, Ca1 iforni a, on the west. The pY'imary fixed target <br />study area for SCPP-2 inc1 udes the northeastern port ion of the proj ect area <br />bounded by Interstate 80 on the north, the Sierra-Nevada crest on the east, <br />a line from SCPP gage site S50 to gage S06 on the west and a line from site <br />S50 to S40 on the south (see section V for specific gage location). <br /> <br />Extended area 1 is closely described by a five-sided figure, with the sides <br />intersecting: (1) Jackson, California, (2) Oroville, California, <br />(3) Susanville, C"a1ifornia, (4) Love10ck, Nevada, and (5) Nevada State <br />Highway No. 167. It includes the Trinity and Wassuk Ranges in Nevada. <br /> <br />1-20 <br /> <br />j <br /> <br />J._ <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />e <br />
