<br />Next, we will perform higher resolution nested Clark model
<br />simulations and will begin simulations of summer monsoon conditions for
<br />more complex convective clouds and precipitation.

<br />ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
<br />
<br />Sincere thanks is expressed to Drs. Terry Clark and Bill Hall of
<br />NCARrs MMM Division for their assistance in providing the model code and
<br />instructions regarding its operation and interpretation. The computing
<br />was performed at NCAR, which is sponsored by the National Science
<br />Foundation. Our appreciation is extended to Drs. Arlin Super and Ed
<br />Holroyd of Reclamation for providing aircraft cloud physics data. Our
<br />colleagues Mr. Medina provided helpful comments regarding the Rhea model
<br />performance and review of this manuscript. Mr. Ra Arnan, Ms. Karen
<br />Morris and Ms. Anne Reynolds of Reclamation's Wat:er Augmentation Group
<br />contributed to analysis software development and data processing. Mr.
<br />Lease provided helpful suggestions regarding the manuscript.
