The Contractor will conduct or <br />assist in airborne plume tracing studies, aircraft seeding operations, <br />and aircraft radar-chaff releases. This will require occupying a <br />required crew position on the aircraft used for these purposes. <br /> <br />C-3.2.3 ANALYSIS <br /> <br />The Contractor's field meteorologist shall provide scientific analysis <br />of the data collected under this contract, integrated as appropriate <br />with data from other sources. Since CRADP is an evolving program, key <br />analysis needs change as understanding is improved. Specific analysis <br />tests which the Contractor shall undertake shall be coordinated with the <br />Head, Colorado River Section and will reflect changing program needs. <br />The Contractor may work with other contractors and Bureau personnel on <br />analyses of particular mutual interest. Analysis efforts may include, <br />but not be limited to, the following types of analyses: <br /> <br />(1) Intercomparisons among methods of measuring snowfall water <br />equivalent rates and amounts with consideration of sensor accuracy and <br />representativeness of sensor sites. <br /> <br />(2) Consideration of methods of monitoring supercooled liquid water <br />contents including surface-mounted icing meters, aircraft probes, <br />and the Skywater microwave radiometer. <br /> <br />(3) Evaluation of seeding generator performance including ice nuclei <br />output as estimated by plume tracing with acoustical ice nucleus <br />counters. <br /> <br />C-6 <br />
