STATEMENT OF NEED FOR SUPPLIES

PURPOSE:

Four (8) Trailer Towers (10 meters) for weather instrumentation and data collection.

A critical element of the NOAA ARL/SORD mission is to collect meteorological data on and near the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). These data are required to produce daily weather forecasts and spot forecasts for specific times and locations, conduct daily weather surveillance, generate severe and extreme weather warnings and advisories, and perform emergency response activities. In addition, we collect specialized weather data to support field experiments.
