The study <br />focussed on observations of the transport and dispersion of cloud seeding aerosols <br />released from a variety of ground-basad seeding generators. The project employed <br />a variety of instrumentation, including a research aircraft, ground-based radiometers,. a . <br />Ka-Bandradar, a Doppler acoustic sounder, a mobile van with aerosol detection and cloud <br />physics instruments and standard meteorological equipment, to study aerosol transport <br />as well as to study the characteristics of natural and seeded orographic clouds over the <br />Plateau. This report documents the operation of a mobile radiometer used for cloud liquid <br />water studies, rawinsondes, the Ka-Band radar and remote cloud seeding generators. <br />Also described are the collection of snow samples for chemical analysis and the archiving <br />of synoptic and satellite data. Data sets are inventoried and plans for analysis of the data <br />are described. <br /> <br />ii <br /> <br />. <br />
