<br />PREF ACE <br /> <br />1" <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />The realization of quantitative information on transport-dispersion <br />over irregular terrain presents a complex theoretical and operational <br />problem for weather modification and air-pollution programs. To date <br />most of the information on this subject has been collected froln limited <br />field programs located in the Western States. <br />In this study physical modeling in a special meteorological wind <br />tunnel was investigated as a possible tool for assisting field programs <br />with this complex problem. The results from this study reveal that <br />physical modeling, even with its inherent limitations, can provide <br />useful and practical data for assisting operational weather modification <br />and other diffusion-oriented programs, especially during the pre- <br />operational or research stages. <br />The complexity of a joint laboratory and field program required <br />the assistance of several people and groups. We would like to acknowl- <br />edge the assistance received from the following persons and groups: <br />Western Scientific Services, Inc., Fort Collins; EG and G, Durango; <br />Mee Industries, Inc.; Dr. G. Langer and The Flight Facility of the <br />National Center of Atmospheric Research; Natural Resources Resl~arch <br />Institute, University of Wyoming; staff and students of the Flllid <br />Dynamics and Diffusion Laboratory; staff and students of the Department <br />of Atmospheric Science and the Colorado State University Flight Facility. <br /> <br />'If <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />j~ <br /> <br />i <br />
