<br />3.7 Computer System <br /> <br />A Data General mini-computer system is located at <br />the Operations Center. This system has the capability to <br />digitally record selected radar echo data. The system can <br />display the radar echo intensities on a CRT display unit and <br />also has provisions for production of a paper copy of the <br />display. This on-site computer system also contains software <br />for rawinsonde analysis, convective cloud model computations, <br />and statistical analysis routines. <br /> <br />When seeding operations are in progress, PPI and/or <br />RHI scans of significant echoes will be routinely recorded <br />at 20 minute intervals. If the digital display is inoperative" <br />these 20 minute echo records will be made by direct photography <br />of the radar scope (PPI or RHI) using a 35mm camera, <br /> <br />3.8 Other Data Collection Equipment <br /> <br />A self-contained atmospheric sounding (Rawinsonde) <br />system belonging to the KWRB, will be used to obtain vertical <br />profiles of temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind for the <br />purpose of forecasting and/or verifying conditions suitable <br />for cloud seeding. These atmospheric soundings will normally <br />be taken at Lakin around noon MDT. <br /> <br />A remote computer terminal, also owned by the KWRB, <br />will be located at the Operations Center and used to routinely <br />access data from the EDN for use in forecasting and other daily <br />operational decisions. <br /> <br />Agreements will be requested with the Kansas Water <br />Resources Board and the Water and Power Resources Services in <br />Denver, Colorado to utilize these services. <br /> <br />: <br /> <br />: <br />
