<br />PERSONNEL TRAINING <br /> <br />The Division of Weather Modification (DWM) has prepared <br />an operations manual for the guidance of all personnel <br />engaged in the program. The manual is both informative <br />and directive in nature. Information given in the manual <br />represents a summary of detailed research work. The <br />techniques described are required for use by all per- <br />sonnel. <br /> <br />The manual consists of seven volumes, each volume is <br />designed to provide the techniques required to conduct <br />a particular phase of the program. <br /> <br />1. Program goals and organization. <br /> <br />2. Radar techniques. <br /> <br />3. Aircraft operations and techniques. <br /> <br />4. Cloud parameters. <br /> <br />5. Seeding materials and equipment. <br /> <br />6. Cloud seeding methods. <br /> <br />7. Evaluation methods. <br /> <br />Prior to the start of the season, field personnel attend <br />a training session designed to provide them with the <br />technology and standards necessary to conduct efficient <br />and responsible cloud seeding within the South Dakota <br />program format. The manual is used as the text for the <br />training session. DWM staff and experienced consultants <br />serve as instructors. <br /> <br />15 <br />
