atmospheric model which is derived from statistical data for a
particular geographical location is referred to as a reference
atmosphere. This committee, Task MG-1, establishes RRAs Range Reference
Atmospheres for the several ranges as provided by the RCC Range
Commander’s Council. An RRA is a model of the Earth’s atmosphere over a
geographical location of interest for use by DOD and other U.$.
Government range users. The RRA is used to provide planning data for
evaluating environmental constraints for the particular configurations
of environment-sensitive systems and components being developed or
undergoing tests. Using the best available upper atmosphere data base
to include rawinsonde, rocketsonde and possibly other high-altitude
data sources for the range location, the task is to establish a model
of certain statistics for wind and thermodynamic quantities derived in
a uniform manner and published in a standardized format. ;

DOE project includes village PV power demonstration projects in Gabon
(four sites) and the Marshall Islands, PV-powered medical refrigerators
in six countries, PV system microprocessor control development
activities and PV-hybrid system assessments. The AID project includes a
large village systen in Tunisia, a water pumping/grain grinding project
in Upper Volta, five medical clinics in four countries, PV-powered
medical refrigerator field tests in eighteen countries and one
PV-powered remote earth station application. This paper reviews these
PV activities and summarizes significant findings to date.;
