<br />Page 5 <br /> <br />II. Experimental Area <br /> <br />The portions of the Mogollon Rim area which drain into the Verde and <br />Salt Rivers have been identified by Alrizona watE~r interests as being <br />of primary interest for potential augmentation. This relativl~ly <br />narrow band of hi gh el evat i on ground l~xtends in a sweepi ng arc from <br />the Fl agstaff vi ci nity southeastward to the New Mexi co border. Of <br />primary interest for winter weather modification potential are those <br />areas over approximately 7,000 feet in elevation where the majority <br />of seasonal snowpack storage occurs. Figure 1 shows the general <br />area, and the specific portions which have been selected for <br />intensive investigation. The three blocks of airspace indicated for <br />research aircraft operation were coordinated with the FAA Albuquerque <br />Air Route Traffic Control Center. Pr'imary operations will be con- <br />ducted in Area 2 since it is the 1 east restri ctE~d by ai rcraft usage <br />conflicts. Areas 1 and 3, which have the smallest areas and the most <br />operating restrictions respectively, will be studied less intensively. <br />
