A Centennial Year Historical Feature Weather Radar, Storm Research Planned by OSC OREGON STATE COLLEGE "Case histories" of ocean storms that sweep across Oregon will be charted by Oregon State Col lege meteorologists in coming months as part of long-range re search on use of radar for map ping storm patterns and for fore casting and observing weather. A $30,000 grant has been re ceived from the U S Army Signal Corps Engineering Laboratories for 1960 work. In the past five years since meteorology research was started by OSC, grants total ing $150,000 have been received. Dr Fred Decker, associate pro fessor of physics, Is leader of the meteorology research team. The radar observatolns of the storm patterns coming Into the Coast from the Pacific Ocean will be among the first made in this region, Decker said. Portable radar equipment with a range of 250 miles will be used from sites atop peaks in the Coast Range to observe the pat tern and characteristics of the storms as they move over the coastal region, the Willamette Valley, and Into and across the Cascades. Possibilities and techniques for forecasting path of the storm, storm Intensity, time of precip itation, and duration of the storm will be studied. Working with Decker on the project will be Herbert Kershaw Jr., Wilfred Jensby, and Wendell M Cook, who will be on leave from the U S Weather Bureau at Salem to study at OSC and participate In the project this fall. Great advances In weather ob servations and forecasts have come with radar, Decker noted. Radar Is used now to map rain fall, detect hail and tornadoes, track severe storms, plot growth, and locate the freezing level. It Is also playing a part in virtually every serious experiment in weather "control." t .TurTT r bhcfrai t.
