<br />e <br /> <br />network. Methods will be explored to evaluate the data collected for <br />seeding effects. <br /> <br />5. What observations are necessary for determining representative winds <br />over the barrier? <br /> <br />As noted in question 3 above, targeting of seeding material is crucial <br />for a successful seeding experiment eva1 uation, especi ally at ground <br />level. Procedures will be developed and tested for providing the best <br />real-time observations of barrier winds possible. Primary observational <br />tools will be aircraft, Doppler ra.dar, and a rawinsonde network. <br />Analysis of these data should provide the information necessary for <br />evaluating airflow models to be used in determining the placement 'of <br />seeding materi a1and forecasting its fallout region on the barrrier. <br /> <br />e .- <br /> <br />E. SCPP DESIGN AND EVALUATION <br /> <br />The document entitled The Design of SCPP-1, A Randomized Precipitation <br />Augmentation Experiment on Winter Cellular Convection in the Central <br />Sierra Nevada, available in November 1983 discusses the detailed layout and <br />latest thinking for conduct of the seeding program to continue in January <br />1984. It is expected that a few changes may be made at the start of the <br />field season. It is hoped that minimal changes will be made thereafter. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />The design effort for a randomized seeding experiment on orographic/ <br />area-wide precipitation is in progress now with seven task teams tackl ing <br />specific problems related to the conduct and evaluation of such an effort. <br />The seven teams under this SCPP-2 effort include Selection Criteria, <br />Conceptual Model Development, Treatment Desi gn, Ev al uat ion Considerations, <br /> <br />1-25 <br />
