<br />required for seeding; for example, to a single seedline for airborne seeding, so as to reduce the changes <br />of large natural changes in the constantly varying atmosphere during the course of the experiment. <br /> <br />Some past weather modification experiments seriously underestimated the resources required to analyze <br />their field observations, or delayed detailed analysis until several field seasons were completed. In either <br />case very valuable feedback was lost from analysis to improving field design. In the worst case, programs <br />were canceled after several years of expensive data collection, but before adequate analysis and reporting. <br />Such programs were very wasteful of time and resources. It is strongly recommended that any future <br />experiments in the Sevier Basin provide substantial funding for analysis, and that analyses of each field <br />season's data be reasonably complete before finalization of the next season's design plan. One approach <br />to accomplishing this is to conduct field expeditions every second or third year with the inteltVening time <br />used for analysis. In general, it is preferred to have the same scientists involved in both collection and <br />analysis of the data. This helps insure careful observations and, even more important, expands the <br />scientists' comprehension of the overall project which can significantly improve both design and analysis. <br /> <br />39 <br />
