FUTURE STUDIES <br /> <br />Further analysis of the vertical structure of <br />meso-high arc clouds and the clear stable regions <br />within the meso-high are needed to better define <br />the forced lifting caused by these systems. As <br />opportunities arise in the High Plains Cooperative <br />Program, additional case studies will be made. <br />Results of these studies will be used to improve <br />objective analysis and forecasting of the effect of <br />mesoscale lifting on the release of API. Knowledge <br />of this natural enhancement will be used as a <br />covariate in the analysis of seeding effects in <br />HIPLEX. Future research is designed to develop <br />hypotheses for modification of cloud mergers and <br />mesoscale enhanced systems. <br /> <br />7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <br /> <br />Ma~ thanks go to Mr. Randy Feuerstein who ran the <br />radar analysis programs used to display informa- <br />tion used in this paper. Thanks also goes to Mr. <br />John Middleton who developed the software used in <br />the presentation of radar PPI information. We <br />sincerely appreciate the review of our manuscript <br />by Mr. Richard Edqy. <br /> <br />8. REFERENCES <br /> <br />Cunning, J., J. Thomas, and P.
