OSU atmospheric scientists are also seeking ways to help solve the air pollution pro blems associated w ith forest slash and grass seed fire burning Because a c c u ra te weather data and forecasts are so vital to farmers, fo re s te rs , fis h e rm e n , builders, travelers and peo pie in general who are making business and per sonal plans, OSU a t mospheric researchers are seeking ways to maximize the b e n e fic ia l use of weather and climate infor mation and predictions so that readers and listeners can interpret them best To support the position of state clim a to lo g ist, the department is seeking to develop “a good com puterized set of data" so better and quicker answers can be given to questions about Oregon weather and climate, says Gates and Murphy On a global scale, OSU researchers are studying clouds in the tropics and charting their impact on the a tm o s p h e re and weather over a wide scale OSU atmospheric scien tists are also conducting studies of the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean Such studies provide the best hope for advances in long range weather forecasting in the future, Gates believes The boundary layer of the atmosphere - the layer of a ir nearest the earth — is getting particular study from the university's at mospheric scientists Its behavior is the key to u n d e rs ta n d in g the behavior and role of low level m ixin g and tu r bulence in air pollution pro blems The ice fields in the world also affect climate and weather, and are the focus of ye t a n o th e r OSU research project Here the researchers hope to be able to better understand ho* sea ice grows and affects the weather, and how the land based ice sheets develop over long tim e periods. F o r e x a m p le , about 18,000 years ago. there was a maximum coverage of ice in North America and Northern Europe, which has since retreated just to Greenland and Antarctia. Gates noted Neighborhood group The B o rin g Neighborhood A dvisory Committee w ill hold its next meeting Tuesday. February 23 at 7 30 p m in the Boring Fire Station The committee w ill be deciding on the design for "Welcome to Boring " signs to be placed on the four main roads leading to the do w n to w n c o m m e rc ia l area of Boring The d e c is io n was postponed to the February meeting due to the com m it tee's desire to fu rth e r publicize the sign project. The signs w ill be approx imately three by three feet and w ill be made out of metal or wood, depending on design and cost, as well as sturdiness of the sign Anyone in the communi ty may submit a design by bringing it to the meeting The committee w ill also be re v ie w in g w h e re sidewalks are needed in the downtown area The status of the park, drainage, and street improvement pro jects w ill also be discussed The committee meetings are open to the public Lowest prices in town on meat, Sower Shield Specie! 6 '/ 2 O Z . years ago. the departmen tal research total was 8100,000 The research on weather and c lim a te is h ig h ly varied — some very prac tical and meant for the mo m e n t. some m o re theoretical and looking to the com ing c e n tu rie s . Gates noted Studies underway in clude pioneer work in wind power developments and the gathering of sun data to help bring Northwest ad vances in solar energy OSU's work has set the stage fo development work with wind power in both the Northwest and the nation. Gates said. The world's largest wind turbines are now o p e ra tin g in southeastern Washington at sites identified by OSU as the best places to turn wind into electricity And the OSU s o la r energy fie ld research facility near campus is perhaps the best such site in the U S Gates believes. “IQC I With on« i,a m S«*«, Shield Card O«v-J Fato 23 1982 PAN-SIZE BACON GREENWICH PARTS MISSING ARMOUR VERI-BEST CENTER WESTERN FAMILY MACARONI & CHEESE 7 ’/a OZ.
