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."

forestry research project.
Forest economists at the col
lege have outlined a broad re
search program to determine the
effects of Oregon's property tax,
yield tax, and severance tax on
forestry operations.
Because of the scope or the
project, it will be conducted over
a period of several years.
First of the studies to be in
itiated will be an analysis of the
property tax burden on forest
owners in relation to other prop
erty holders. This phase will
start this summer and may be
completed within a year. Other
phases of the project will be
undertaken as funds are received.
Working on the project will be
Robert F Keniston, Charles F
Sutherland, Dwight S Jeffers, and
Charles W Dane of the forestry
school staff.
The greatest interest in for
est taxation is shown Dy tne
number of forest tax bills in
troduced in the last legislature, .
the foresters noted. Facts devel
oped from the research are ex
pected to provide new and high
ly valuable information on forest
taxation and management In the
