NATIONAL CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC RESEARCH

KING AIR OFF TO A FLYING START

departed on 12 July for Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, tosupport a joint U.S./Mexican project on atmosphericforcing of the circulation in the Gulf ofCalifornia. The principal investigators on theexperiment are Antoin R.F. Baden-Dangon (EnsenadaCenter for Scientific Research and Higher Educationin Mexico) and Clinton Winant (Scripps Institutionof Oceanography).

t"We are all very pleased with the King Air'sperformance," Byron told Staff Notes, "and we areconfident that its users will continue to bepleased and to benefit from this new researchsystem." eSB

Without fanfare, NCAR's new instrumentedBeechcraft King Air aircraft entered duty in May.O Its first research assignment was to support theClear Air Boundary Layer Experiment (CABLE), whosefield phase involved flights from three bases--Jefferson County Airport, Colorado; Norman,Oklahoma; and Houston, Texas.

In a memo to Byron Phillips (manager of theResearch Aviation Facility), CABLE principalinvestigator Donald Lenschow (Atmospheric Analysisand Prediction Division) praised the King Air andthe RAF staff for the aircraft's flawlessperformance. "This was a very successful beginningfor the King Air," Don wrote. Specifically, Donstated, "The King Air provides a major improvementin capability because of its trouble-free, quietoperation, greater engine power and carryingcapacity, and longer ferrying range. We did notlose any flights or encounter any significantdelays due to equipment problems. . . . The newdata system is a major enhancement in capability inproviding a means to assess the state of theatmosphere and the operation of the equipment inflight."

According to Byron, the King Air is now almostentirely booked through January. The aircraft

The first issue of Catalyst: Abstracts of NCARScientific Papers will be appearing in about aweek. It will list titles and abstracts of papersthat were in press or published by NCAR scientistsand visitors during two-month periods; the firstissue will cover May and June of 1983. Catalyst wascreated to serve as a means for atmospheric scien-tists--both within and outside of NCAR--to stay intouch with current research here, through what NCARresearchers are publishing. It will include bothrefereed and nonrefereed papers, and will rerun in-press items with the complete citation information,once they have been published.

The Publications Office had an overwhelmingresponse for the first issue, receiving nearlytwice as many abstracts as anticipated. Because ofthis, editor Reed Glenn asks authors to keep ab-stracts submitted to Catalyst as brief aspossible--the ideal length being 160 words orless. (Brevity will also help keep Catalyst mostuseful; scientists polled prior to its creationsaid that they preferred short descriptions ofresearch that could be scanned quickly.)

STUDENTS VISITING ACAD

The Atmospheric Chemistry and Aeronomy Division(ACAD) has eight students working with divisionscientists this summr in addition to the two whoare participating in the program sponsored by thePersonnel/Equal Opportunity Programs (EOP) Depart-ment (see Staff Notes, 10 June 1983). The othersare all undergraduate chemistry students (seeaccompanying table) who expressed interest inACAD's research and made various informal

arrangements to work here. Pictured here (left toright) are Eric Lodge, Mark Johnson, JeniferSerafin, Rolando Rael, Kathleen Wilson, KerryBusarow, and Raylan Roetman. (Rael and Wilson aresponsored by the Personnel/EOP Department; PeterBakwin, Maureen McCarthy, and Brian Woodruff arenot pictured.) Says Ralph Cicerone, ACAD director,"We find that the students are adding to ourresearch." (Photo by Ginger Wadleigh.) #

Breakaway Techniques Session Canceled

For lack of interest, the breakaway techniquessession that was announced in connection with theSexual Assault Awareness Seminar will not beheld. The Employee Activities Committee (EAC)hopes to reschedule the session this fall if morestaff members are interested in it then.

Sailing Lessons

The EAC has arranged for NCAR employees toreceive discounts on sailing lessons at BoulderReservoir. The next session in the sailing pro-gram, which is run by the City of Boulder, runsfrom 1 to 29 August.

Fees for the lessons are $35 for resident be-ginners, $55 for nonresident beginners, $40 forresident intermediates, and $57.50 for nonresidentintermediates (these prices are $5 below theregular cost). The fee covers a gate pass to thereservoir (good for the entire summer) and fourthree-hour lessons. For information, or to regis-ter, call EAC representative Sharon Vieyra,ext. 241, or Pat Goson, the program coordinator, at499-5334.

NCAR employees now can obtain discount cards tothe Movieland Wax Museum, which is in southernCalifornia near Disneyland, and other Six Flagsentertainment centers (including those in Florida).The cards entitle you to a 10% discount on admis-sion, food, and souvenirs over $5. If you are in-terested, contact Sharon Vieyra, ext. 241.

The EAC still has 1983 applications for DisneyWorld and Disneyland packages. These are alsoavailable from Sharon.

ROAD PAINTING

Today and tomorrow, center stripes are beingpainted on the Mesa Laboratory road, and parkingspace lines are being painted in the parking lot.The Physical Facilities Services Department urgesstaff members not to drive to the Mesa Lab on thesetwo days. To accommodate extra passenqers today,the NCAR shuttle bus will run continually betweenthe Mesa Lab and the intersection of Broadway andTable Mesa Drive from 4:00 to 5:15 p.m., but itwill not make the usual 4:35 circuit to 30thStreet.

NEW ARTISTS TO BE SELECTED

On Wednesday, 27 July, the NCAR art jury willchoose the works of six artists for month-long,one-person shows in the second-floor gallery of theMesa Laboratory. The works selected will be shownbetween October 1983 and March 1984.

Artists interested in submitting their work forconsideration should notify the NCAR InformationOffice by Tuesday, 26 July, by calling ext. 262between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. They will be askedto bring some representative samples of their workto be judged at NCAR on 27 July. The art is lim-ited to work that can be hung, such as paintings,prints, photographs, and textiles.
