The proposed research would take place over <br /> <br />northwestern - northcentral regions of Colorado. Its object would be to <br /> <br />create a small artificial ice cloud (commonly referred to as a contrail) <br /> <br />comparable to one produced by a small jet aircraft. The seeder aircraft <br /> <br />will then follow the development of the ice contrail for as long as <br /> <br />is pr ac tical. <br /> <br />The project will be carried out using a modified Schweizer single <br /> <br />engine propeller driven aircraft operating out of the Colorado Springs Munici- <br /> <br />pal ~ Peterson Air Force Base Airport. The proposed experiment would be <br /> <br />carried out under the general supervision of Dr. Bernard Vonnegut (State <br /> <br />University of New York at Albany, 1400 Washington Ave., Albany, New York) <br /> <br />and Professor Lewis Grant (Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado), <br /> <br />and under the direct supervision of Mr. Andrew Detwiler also from SUNY-A. <br /> <br />The project constitutes a direct supplement to the CSU research presently <br /> <br />in progress to study the processes involved in extended areas of effects <br /> <br />from weather modification. This project will extend the capability to <br /> <br />examine the persistence of ice crystals leaving the seeded area. The <br /> <br />proposed project would start on February II, 1978 and end on March 31, 1978. <br />
