<br />e <br /> <br />There is continuing interest in the study of precipitation bands. Physical <br />investigations of bands along with the low-level jet, generating cells and <br />the melting layer will be pursued as time and resouY'ces allow. <br /> <br />Day-to-day operational procedures that ar'e the responsibi1 ity of the Site <br />Director, Seeding Coordinator, forecaster, radar, and rawinsonde operators <br />and other site personnel are in fairly good order. Minor changes are <br />anticipated to existing routines to handle the hierarchy of experimentation <br />mentioned above because of the absence of the Operations Director. <br /> <br />Primary questions to be addressed during the 1982-83 field season are: <br /> <br />1. Will the SCPP-1 randomized experimE!nt yie1 d significant results in a <br />more focused experiment? <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />An extensive amount of time and effort has been spent analyzing results <br />from SCPP-l and refining the scope, rlesponse variables, and procedures <br />of the SCPP-1 experiment. The exper'iment has been refocussed on the <br />initially nonprecipitating convective elements. This was done to <br />maximize the chances of detecting a seeding effect, at least with <br />respect to the aircraft and radar response variables. Primary response <br />variables from precipitation gage data will also be evaluated for <br />potential seeding effects. <br /> <br />2. What are the meteorological condiitions that will be incorporated <br />into the randomized SCPP-2 experiment and can these be predicted with <br />re1 i abi1 ity? <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />1-23 <br /> <br />.. <br />
