Case Histories
Of Ocean Storms
Will Be Studied
Corvallis-Case histories of
ocean storms that sweep
across Oregon will be charted
by Oregon State college me
teorologists with a S280.000
portable weather radar sys
tem provided by the Army
ii?nal coros.
Dr. Fred W. Decker, associ
ate professor of physics who
directrs ussus weainer re
search, was informed of the
cauiDment allocation.
The high-powered system,
capable of "seeing rain and
snow" within 250 miles or
more, is housed in two vans
This is the latest modern
equipment used for weather
radar work by the Army and
Air Force.
Now ax Mercury
Now housed at Mercury,
Nev., where it tracked storms
for atomic tests, the equip
ment will arrive at Obt
about Sept. 15. Scientists
know the eauiDment as CPS-9.
The equipment will be tak
en to Mary's Peak, highest
mountain in the Coast Range,
and other summits to observe
the storms as they move over
the coastal reeion. Willamette
valley and into and across
the Cascades. ,
In addition, a $33,000 grant
has heen received from the
Army signal corps for the re
search. In the past five years
since' meteorology research
was started by OSC, grants
totaling $152,000 have been
received.
tniMHiiM Studied
Possibilities and techniques
for forecasting path of tne
storm, storm intensity, time
of precipitation, and duration
of the storm will be siuaiea.
-Orpat advances in weather
: observations and forecasts
"""-have come with radar, Dr.
Decker noted. Radar is now
used to map rainfall, detect
hail and tornadoes, track se
vere storms, plot storm
growth and locate the freez
ing level.
, Working with Dr. Decker
; on the project will be Herbert
- Kershaw Jr., Wilfred G. Jens
by and Wendell M. Cook, who
will be on leave from the
, weather bureau at Salem to
- study at OSC.

Washington-OJPD-Sen." War
ren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.),
Wednesday praised Senate ac
tion which approved a mea
sure designed to determine
the best means of improving
conservation of game fish in
federal reservoirs.
The bill would direct the
secretary of interior to estab
lish a research" program aimed
at finding the best method of
conserving reservoir fish.
Magnuson said federal
agencies hav neglected fish
ing yields in most reservoirs
with the result that "some
have become barren of food
and game fish as predators
and scrap fish , have multi
plied" y
