<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. SCPP-l DBSIGN, REVIEW, AND ANALYSIS <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As described in the introduction, the 1982-83 winter <br />season represented the first year of the SCPP-l exploratory, <br />resea rch prog ram. NAWC, as well as other Bureau contI'actors, <br />had been instrumental in the development of the SCPP-l design <br />(Vardiman, et al., 1982). Continuing work by NAWC on the <br />SCPP-l phase of SCPP was concentrated in. three areas: continuing <br />design, review, and data analysis. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2.1 SCPP-l 1982-83 Randomization P'rocedures. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dr. John Flueck, NAWC's statistical consultant on SCPP, <br />visited the Auburn, California project offices in January. <br />During this visit, the randomization lists and procedures <br />to be used were generated. Care was t.aken to ~lssure the int.egrity <br />of the experiment concerning blindness concepts, etc. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2.2 SCPP-l Simulation Studies. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Dr. John Flueck continued analysis of previously acquired <br />data sets along the "links in the chain" hypothesis including <br />data from the King Air cloud physics aircraft, the 5 em di,gitized <br />radar, and the ground level precipitation. Results of the <br />aircraft response variate simulations were presented at the <br />Auburn Science meeting on January 20, 1983. Tables 2.1 and <br />2.2 summarize the results of the statistical comparison for <br />six seed and seventeen, no seed SCPP-l, class A clouds assimilated <br />from the 1979, 1980, and 1982 experimental periods.. The class <br />A clouds are considered most seedable of the SCPP-l clouds <br />due to their favorable water/ice ratio. A pretreatment ratio <br />is established by the King Air along a 20 nm test leg where <br />the minimum seedability criteria of LWC L. .2gnC3 and 100 J.l9/crystal <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2-1 <br /> <br />. <br />
