HARD WORK KEEPS NCAR'S ROAD CLEAR
Last week's snow storms served as a reminderthat among NCAR's staff are two hard-working fel-lows without whom it would be impossible to get
up to the Mesa Laboratory on snowy days. We aretalking about Herbert Manzanares and FabianCarmenoros, NCAR's outside maintenance crew.

4lHerb Manzanares (left) and Fabian Carmenoros (right) worked all night last week to clear the MesaLaboratory's road, parking lot, and sidewalks. (Photos by Robert Bumpas.)
During fair weather, Herb and Fabian are re-sponsible for maintaining the grounds, road, park-ing lot, and sidewalks around the Mesa Labora-tory. They sweep, weed, mow, and prune; and theyreplenish the salt block by the Fleischmann Build-ing for the Mesa deer. They also work on thegrounds around the Marshall field site and theNCAR buildings at Jefferson County Airport.
With snowfall, however, all their energy andequipment are directed at maintaining access tothe Mesa Laboratory. Not only do they plow andsand the mesa road, but they shovel, salt, andsand the sidewalks and parking lot. Since snowknows no workday, Herb and Fabian are on callaround the clock. During last week's first storm,for example, Herb began plowing at 8:00 p.m., andFabian joined him at 1:00 a.m. The two keptplowing through the morning hours.

NCAR's Queen Air N304D will leave on 16 March tosupport the program on the Organization ofPersistent Upwelling Structures (OPUS). The goalof this program, which is headed by David Stuart(Florida State University), is to understand therole played by these structures in the relationshipbetween ocean circulation and planktondistribution. The Queen Air will be used toacquire measurements to determine wind stress,sea-surface temperatures, and chlorophylldistribution. Equipment on the Queen Air willinclude a dual differential radiometer, developedby NASA, to obtain remote measurements in fourspectral bands of sunlight reflected from oceanupwelling. Two of these spectral bands are used toobtain chlorophyll content measurements, and two tomeasure suspended sediment. The research area isoff the coast of California between Piedras BlancosPoint and Point Conception, with the base ofoperations being Santa Maria, California.
The Research Aviation Facility support team in-cludes: Roger McIntosh, technician; Pete Orum andBill Zinser, project pilots; and Paul Spyers-Duran, project manager. o

ANNOUNCEMENTS
LECTURE SERIES
"The Vision of the Scientist" free public lec-ture series, co-sponsored by NCAR and the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),will feature the third lecture of the series,"Exciting Opportunities for Ocean Science in the1980s," by Dr. Walter H. Munk on Thursday, 19March, at 8:00 p.m. at the National Bureau ofStandards auditorium, 325 Broadway. The same lec-ture will be given on Wednesday evening, 18 March,at the Phipps Auditorium at the Museum of NaturalHistory in Denver's City Park.
Munk, an internationally recognized scientist,has developed many new techniques for exploringthe hidden depths of the world's oceans. He isalso known as one of the most popular publicspeakers of science. Since 1959 he has been di-rector of the Institute of Geophysics and Plane-tary Physics at the University of California'sScripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla.
The series is being coordinated by John Eddy(NCAR) and Kirby Hanson (NOAA).
COPIERS AVAILABLE AT 30TH STREET
NCAR staff members at 30th Street may now usethe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion (NOAA) machines to copy library materials atno cost, and may use NOAA's color copier at $.75per copy.
NOAA's branch library maintains two black-and-white copiers in RL-3 room 646, which is adjacentto the library. NCAR staff members who use thelibrary may make single copies of needed materialsfor non-commercial, scholarly purposes; the costwill be absorbed by Scientific Support Services(formerly Communications Services), provided thatcopy volume remains moderate. To use the copiers,staff members must sign their names and obtain akey from the NOAA librarian. Black-and-whitecopying for other purposes should be done onNCAR's own copiers.
Color copies may be obtained by submitting jobrequests to Harry Covey in RL-3 room 683. Therequester's name and NCAR account numbers will berecorded there for billing purposes.

person to Doug Bradshaw ("Brad") in Shipping andReceiving.
Registration begins on 16 March, and will beon a first-come, first-served basis. The ski buswill leave the Mesa Laboratory parking lot at6:45 a.m. For additional information, call Brad,ext. 318. This will be the last day trip, soregister right away for what could be the besttrip of the year.
SAFETY SHOE VAN
The safety shoe van will be at the Mesa Labo-ratory's shipping-and-receiving area on Monday,16 March, from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. In order toobtain a pair of shoes, you will need a purchase
requisition approved by your supervisor. NCARwill pay up to $30 on the cost of the shoes.
