A pilot project of weather modification for the San Juan Mountains of the Colorado River Basin: final report
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1974-02) Grant, Lewis O., author; Chappell, Charles F., author; Crow, Loren W., author; Fritsch, J. Michael, author; Mielke, Paul W., Jr., author; Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, publisher
This is the final report on the preparation of a design program to apply results from experimental programs for augmenting orographic precipitation to a Pilot Project that would have the goal of providing "...sound scientific and engineering evaluation of precipitation creases over a large area by operational-type application of cloud seeding techniques...", (Kahan, 1969). The report describes: (1) the purpose of the project; (2) the scientific and technological basis; (3) the design constraints; and, (4) the details of the design. The design itself includes descriptions of: (1) the experimental hypothesis; (2) the site selection; (3) the experimental procedures (randomization. etc.); (4) the data collection requirements; (5) the operations procedures; and, (6) the evaluation techniques to be employed.

An overview of the present and future uses of the CSU IRIS/DRSES
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1983-07) Laybe, Pat, author
The purpose of this report is to inform potential scientific users of the capabilities of the CSU IRIS/DRESES. This report is intended to be a descriptive reference which is organized into three chapters. The first chapter presents the facilities which comprise the IRIS/DRSES. The next chapter describes the specific routines necessary to produce research oriented meteorological products presently operational at this time. Current plans for future additions to IRIS/DRSES are described in the last chapter.

Atlas of linear trends in northern-hemisphere tropospheric geopotential height and temperature patterns
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1981-05) Reiter, Elmar R., author; Westhoff, Daniel R., author; Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, publisher
Gridded NMC data for 500-mb geopotential height, 300/500-mb and 500/700-mb thickness for the period 1951 to 1978 were subjected to linear trend analyses. These analyses were performed for each calendar month. Significant geographical and seasonal distributions of cooling and warming patterns emerged. An atmospheric cooling trend over the North Pacific during the winter months appears to be associated with oceanic cooling in that region, but also to planetary-wave adjustments, suggesting that ocean-atmosphere feedback mechanisms are effectively at work over climatic time scales. Consistently large temperature trends also appear over the Asian continent. Comparisons between thickness trends in the 1ayer 300/500-mb with those in the layer 500/700-mb reveal well-pronounced patterns of stabilization and destabilization.

Causes and effects of atmospheric interannual variability: progress report to National Science Foundation
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1977-06) Reiter, Elmar R., author; Department of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University, publisher
During the present grant period we examined in some detail the 24-day vacillation in the atmospheric energy cycle. We arrived at the conclusion that this cycle is tied to baroclinic instabilities and to the amplification of cyclonic disturbances upon which feed the planetary wave modes. We also examined cases of sudden stratospheric warming. They are generally characterized by prolonged decreases in hemispheric zonal available potential energy, by the development of a blocking ridge over the Gulf of Alaska and by a tendency towards below-normal temperatures over the Eastern United States. A feasibility study of hemispheric monthly precipitation anomalies revealed that large anomalies, indeed, exist simultaneously and with same sign over the continents of the northern hemisphere. From this conclusion the importance of the hydrological cycle in atmospheric variability studies has to be emphasized again. Another source of atmospheric interannual variability has been identified in the sensible and latent heat transfers between ocean and atmosphere. The 24-day vacillation appears to be influenced by these heat transfers, especially in regions with large sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. The SST anomalies in the North Pacific between 40 and 50°N appear to be caused by fluctuations in the water transport around the Pacific gyro. This transport, in turn, seems to respond to long-term and large-scale fluctuations in the v-component of the trade winds in both hemispheres. Such fluctuations also appear to influence the global mean annual temperature, perhaps due to variations in the release of latent heat within the intertropical convergence zone.
