<br />.......vv.... <br /> <br />DR. GARNSEY: <br /> <br />DR. CHAMBERLAIN: <br /> <br />DR. GARNSEY: <br /> <br />DR. ROBERTS: <br /> <br />Colorado with the ultimate objective of <br />having available here on this campus all <br />of the climatological data for every sta- <br />tion of Colorado as it now exists and as <br />it will be accumulated. With this stock <br />of information in hand then any time we <br />have.the necessity for running any type.of I <br />climatological analysis, we have all of the <br />basic data already available on punch cards, <br />IBM punch cards, which are of a permanent <br />nature. <br /> <br />So that indicates to you our experience <br />in the field and our long term objective for <br />the State of Colorado. <br /> <br />If I can answer any other questions on <br />our aspect of it I would be glad to do so." <br /> <br />"I might make just one remark here about <br />finances. When data are put on punch cards <br />for a weather station which has not yet been <br />ana lysed, then ,there is an exchange agreement <br />among various scientific groups and we get <br />from them punch cards for stations that have <br />been analysed by a simple exchange of a copy <br />of a set of the punch cards that we have. <br />Perhaps Dr. Chamberlain could enlarge on that <br />just a bit, but this means that we can get a <br />lot of analysis of some stations without pay- <br />ing anything for it except the cost of running <br />off a set of duplicate cards." <br /> <br />"To give you an idea of what we have here <br />for such an arrangement, we have put on punch <br />cards approximately two hundred thousand sta- <br />tion days; in other words we have two hundred <br />thousand punch cards available and in return <br />for providing these, the U. S. Weather Bureau <br />provides us with an equal number of cards <br />for stations in Colorado or wherever we ask, <br />for years subsequent to 1948. In other words, <br />we punch years prior to '48 and in return we <br />get a copy of cards for data subsequent to <br />'48 free of charge. This works very nicely <br />in our benefit." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />"Dr. Roberts did you have a remark about <br />the budget?'~ <br /> <br />"Yes. I was glad that Chamberlain men- <br />tioned existing capability of C. S. U. in <br />
