Row would this information be of wilue to you?
Yes, I think it would be, because although one would not know
the fine structure, I think that we could perhaps get an idea
ebout the fine structure ty just one efroraft fiight as to
which — locking over the afruraft flights to get an ides of
whether there was fine structure or not. J was inpressed by
this more or less orderly rise te a pank at seme region and
fall on the other side as they pass through the region.
WEXLER:
But even then they grossly mooth cover the real fine structure,
I understand, by the sampling technique, taken ever scue tixe—
a long tine period.
KELICGG:
But it ahows, though, that the sise of the cloud, including
the wings of the eloud, is large eneugh to be ploked up as
it moves through a network of the density of our present radiceonde network.
And we world have to forego the fine structure
o- and the other point I mace earlier was that I have a feeling
that the fine structure on the groum in raincut is largely
just « reflection of the discontinuities in the rainfall, rather
than the discontinuities in the air to begin uith.
WEILER:
But Will, that is not borne out by these Massachusetts sanples
which are, as I understand, all. reduced to the sams amount of
rainy over a suall area in a situation supposedly wifern rain.
