<br />III. <br /> <br />FACiliTIES AND EQUIPMENT <br /> <br />The field facility has headquarters in Steamboat <br />Springs, Colo., and leases a portion of the building <br />that houses the U.S. Forest Service, figure 10. The <br />offices include a meteorological room with Service A <br />and Service C weather teletype, the project engi- <br />neer's office and a data reduction area. Administra- <br />tive and data reduction/analysis work are done here. <br />Laboratory facilities are located at Valley View <br />Lodge, 8 miles from Steamboat Springs and at an <br />altitude of 7,600 feet, figure 11. Construction and <br />testing of sensors is done in the 500 square foot <br />laboratory, environmental testing in a I-acre pasture <br />behind the lab, and particle detection in a ,separate <br />cabin which serves as a "clean room". <br />Seven of our personnel, and their families, are <br />stationed in Steamboat Springs. <br />Transportation is provided by two 4-wheel-drive <br /> <br />Jeep station wagons, a 4-wheel-drive Carryall and a <br />stake truck which carries the Tucker Sno-Cat over <br />open roads. In the winter season, the Sno-Cat is <br />needed to reach all ridge stations and the Emerald <br />Mountain diffusion and artificial nuclei generator <br />test station, figure 12. Our company leases sensor <br />sites at the laboratory, Milner, Mad Creek, Emerald <br />Mountain and Lufkin from private individuals; <br />the Bureau of Reclamation leases the Mt. Harris <br />radar site. <br />In the following description of specific equip- <br />ment, the reader will find it convenient to refer to <br />figure 6 for geographical locations. <br /> <br />Particle Detection Equipment <br /> <br />Zinc sulphide is the tracer material for diffusion <br />tests. Dispensing is done from Emerald Mountain, <br /> <br /> <br />&~... ' <br /> <br /> <br />Figure lO.-Steamboat Springs Facility Headquarters. <br /> <br />11 <br />
