A special thanks to NSF and NOAA for their support.
Included in the grants in total is funding to deploy 5 flux PAMs,
3 ASTERs, 3 CLASS, one tower, 35 recording raingages, 2 TDR soil
water content devices, the Wyoming King Air, and the NOAA Twin
Otter. These instruments will complement data taken by the Argonne
Boundary Layer Experiments Facility with which you are already
familiar.
Still pending are the very important complementing modeling efforts
which have been proposed by Pielke and Zeng; the polarization
studies which have been proposed by Wilson, Brandes, Zrnic,
Vivekanandan, Duchon and Chandrasekar; and the 88D-precip studies
which have been proposed by Duchon and Stewart. We hope to hear
good news on these soon.
We have scheduled a meeting for Nov. 18-19 in Boulder to begin the
logistical planning process for the Spring program (see agenda). The quick timing on this meeting is
due to the future unavailability of numerous key UCAR/NCAR personnel
over the coming months who will be participating in FASTEX.
If anyone in the community who is already funded for research which
could benefit from CASES data or has an interest in bringing other
instrumentation to the field, I invite you to attend the meeting on
the 18-19th. Unfortunately, little or no travel support is
available at this time. Please contact me if you are interested.
Thanks everyone for helping CASES to its first milestone: CASES 97.
We will continue working to achieve your collective vision of a
fully implemented CASES site in the future.

Next update will be in December 1996.
Since our last update we have received some very good
news. Three of the proposals submitted for CASES 97 have been
funded (see table).
