The Beukers semi-automatic rawinsonde unit was <br />relatively accurate and trouble free. <br /> <br />3. strong emphasis should be placed on public infor- <br />mation, particularly the issuance of local interest news items. <br /> <br />\ <br /> <br />4. There are good sources of hail occurrence and crop <br />damage data which should be formally exploited, such as county <br />sheriff offices, county ACSC offices, and extension service offices. <br />Post-storm interrogation (manpower and funds permitting) of these <br />agencies on a systematic basis could greatly strengthen the analysis <br />of seeding effects. <br /> <br />5. A spare, loaded cartridge holder carried in the <br />cabin of the seeder aircraft would lessen the ground-turn around <br />time of seeding flights. <br /> <br />6. Preoccupation with data collection, equipment main- <br />tenance, visitors, and other indirect support tasks can quickly <br />degrade seeding effectiveness. strong emphasis should be placed on <br />keeping seeding equipment operator distractions at an absolute mini- <br />mum during storm activity. <br />7. During seeding operations, especially when more than <br />one aircraft is flying, a technical assistant should be available at the <br />radar operations room to assist the seeding director. This would <br />assure more complete documentation of seeding activities and better <br />organized research data files. <br /> <br />33 <br />
