<br />Page 3 <br /> <br />3. A sensitive C-band radar to observe cloud base, tops and <br />structure. <br /> <br />4. An acoustical sounder system to measure horizontal wind <br />speeds and directions in the lowest 300-600 m above the high <br />plateau. <br /> <br />5. An aspirated imaging probe to record two-dimensional images <br />of rain or snow particles reaching the surface. These <br />observations will be supplemented by high resolution <br />photographs of ice crystals. <br /> <br />6. A rawi nsonde system to measure the vert'j cal structure of <br />winds, temperature and relative humidity from the surface to <br />approximately 10 km altitude. <br /> <br />7. A network of seven precipitation gauging sites. <br /> <br />8. Cameras at two sites to provide periodic photographs of the <br />cloud cover over the Mogollon Rim. <br /> <br />The above observations will be supplemented by NWS (National INeather <br />Service) satellite imagery of cloud characteristics over the area of <br />interest plus standard synoptic charts. These will aid in <br />post-season analysis of case studies of particular interest. <br /> <br />- <br />
