List of Figures

Figure 1. Map of the 1994 NOAA/Utah project area on the
Wasatch 1:)lateau in central Utah. Instrument sites are as noted in
the legend. Heavy dotted lines represent research aircraft flight
tracks. Dashed circles are radar range rings at 10 and 20 km radii.

Figure 2. Radiometric mean radiating temperatures (at 20.6 and
31.65 GHz) and water vapor atmospheric retrieval coefficients (cv1,
cv2, and cv3) computed from seven height levels of Mt. Pleasant

soundings. .......................................

Figure 3. As in Fig. 2, except for the three liquid water retrieval
coefficients (cI1, c12, and cI3). ........................

Figure 4. Photograph of the DRI mobile radiometer on Highway 31
near RRS (Fig. 1). .................................

Figure 5. Plot of mobile radiometer data from a period when it was
stationary at the Mt. Pleasant Airport during a rawinsonde flight.
Bottom panel shows the radiometer integrated water vapor trace
and the precipitable water computed from the coincident sounding.

Figure 6. Plot of mobile radiometer data during several transects
of Highway 31 between its junction with Highway 264 and RRS (see
Fig. 1). a) Integrated liquid depth versus horizontal position. b)
Radiomejter height as determined by a global positioning system
versus horizontal position. ...........................

Figure 7. Photograph of the Utah Ka-Band radar at RRS in 1994.
View is toward the target site (TAR). ...................

Figure 8" Photograph of one of the DRI remotely controlled cloud
seeding !~enerators (unit on the left) in position at HAS (Fig. 1).

Figure 9" Ice nuclei production of the DRI remote-controlled cloud
seeding generator at four temperatures and two liquid water

contents. ........................................
