Section I out- <br />lines the program, its goals, and depth. The next four sections summarize <br />one completed project, two projects now in progress, and one project in <br />preliminary planning. Section VI is a synopsis of contracts devoted to <br />orographic research in general. Equipment developed in support of general <br />atmospheric research, and not in connection with a particular project, is <br />described in section VII. Sections II through VII contain synopses of <br />pertinent contracts following the main summaries. Contracts are listed in <br />chronological order of award, and the contract reporting period is from the <br />beginning of fiscal year 1975 (July 1, 1974) through the contract's comple- <br />tion date. Contracts shown as "continuinq" extend into future fiscal <br />year(s) but are not open-ended. Section VIII describes Project Skywater <br />in-house support and research activities. The appendixes contain a <br />glossary of pertinent terms and listings of contract and in-house reports <br />which are available upon request to the Bureau of Reclamation or the <br />National Technical Information Service. <br /> <br />17.
