Jones <br />PERIOD: July 1, 1974, to June 30, 1976 <br />FUNOING: FY75 - $284,760 <br />FY76 - $ 53,257 <br />T.Q. - $ 17,441 <br /> <br />In November 1968, WSSI (Western Scientific Services, Inc.) was <br />awarded a contract for the design, installation, and operation of an <br />extensive instrument and observation network for collection of <br />hydrometeorological data needed for evaluation of the CRBPP cloud <br />seeding research activity. Measurement networks were established <br />after a series of reconnaissance surveys in each of the hydrologic <br />basins included in the project area. Cooperative relationships were <br />established with the Forest Service, U.S. Oepartment of Agriculture, <br />to evaluate potential data collection sites. <br /> <br />The contract objectives were: <br /> <br />(1) To design and procure meteorological instrumentation to <br />record the distribution and variation of precipitation, wind, <br />temperature, and other microphysical data. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />(2) To conduct site investigations and install instrumentation at <br />the selected sites. <br /> <br />(3) To operate the data collection network from October 15 to <br />May 15 each winter season. <br /> <br />(4) To operate a portion of the data collection network from May 16 <br />to October 14 to collect data to establish runoff characteristics of <br />selected watersheds in the San Juan Mountains. <br /> <br />(5) To reduce and process the collected data into computer- <br />compatible formats under established dat.a quality check procedures. <br /> <br />(6) To prepare annual comprehensive meteorological data sets <br />containing the processed data collected from the project network <br />and other sources, and produce finalized data sets consisting of a <br />written summary report, magnetic data tapes, and computer print- <br />outs of the tapes. <br /> <br />II -5 <br />
