The other data that were available from the <br /> <br />projects were used to provide insight into the interpretation <br />of results derived from the statistical analysis. <br /> <br />Since one of the most useful instruments for the determination <br /> <br />of cloud variables is the rawinsonde, it was decided that a <br /> <br /> <br />local sounding would be a requirement from each project. To <br /> <br /> <br />include Climax, which did not have a local sounding, it was <br /> <br /> <br />decided to use interpolated soundings for this project derived <br />from a computer technique developed by ffilea2. <br /> <br />Seven projects were chosen: The Bridger Range Experiment in Mon- <br /> <br />tana (BGR), the Climax Experiments in Colorado (CMX), the Colorado <br /> <br />River Basin Pilot Project (CRBPP) in Colorado (CRB), the Central <br /> <br /> <br />Sierra Research Experiment (CENSARE) in California (CSR) , the Jemez <br /> <br /> <br />Project in New Mexico (JMZ), the Pyramid Lake Pilot Project in <br /> <br /> <br />Nevada (PYR), and the Santa Barbara II Project in California (SBA). <br /> <br />Five of the projects \-lere sponsored by the Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br /> <br />and a sixth was jointly funded by the Bureau and the U.S. Naval <br /> <br /> <br />Weapons Center.
