Matching radars of different
wavelengths, something like a far
sighted person exchanging informa
tion with a nearsighted individual,
I will be done in a A&M University
I project aimed at unlocking secrets
J of rainfall.
The matched radar approach here
is the only one so far as Dr. Vance
E. Moyer knows. He is professor
of meteorology and director of
radar meteorology research.
Feasibility of the approach was
determined in studies made here
under a $90,200 National Science
Foundation grant. Those studies
included a doctoral dissertation,
five master’s theses and several
articles for professional journals.
Now the NSP has granted $18,-
900 for modifying two radars al
ready on the A&M campus. The 3.2-
centimeter set will have a six-foot
reflector or “dish,” the 10-centi
meter set will have a 15-foot re
flector. The changes will result
in identical beam patterns for both
sets, which already are matched
and “married” in other details.
Moyer hopes the system will be
operational next spring. “Both sets
will look at exactly the same thing,”
Moyer said. But the sets will
respond differently due to the dif
fering wavelengths.
The matched system approach
stems partly from insights gained
in 1959 when a radar in South
east Texas failed to show the im
mensity of a bad weather area.
Moyer and two other men return
ing to College Station by light
plane had a fearful flight.
“High frequency radar displays
echo from light or small-drop rain
fall that is not detected by radar
of lower frequency,” Moyer ex
plained. But the 3.2-centimeter or
high frequency radar impulses
may be attenuated or absorbed by
heavy rain. The 10-centimeter
radar impulse is such that not even
record-sized raindrops, about one-
fourth of an inch, will attenuate
them, but these impulses pass
through light rain without detect
ing it.
“If we can say. there is no at
tenuation in the 10 - cm signal,
then we can use that to evaluate
the attenuation in the 3.2-cm signal
and from this we can evaluate the
statistical drop sizes in the echo,”
Moyer said.
This evaluation plus data on
drop sizes could add up eventually
to the ability to use radar to probe
a mass of rainy weather and give
insights into the moisture distri
bution in the clouds. Not only
would this be useful in expanding
knowledge of cloud physics, but
it would have a practical applica
tion in hydrology and design of
dams.
“And the radar operator stays
inside where it’s nice and dry,”
Moyer pointed out.
Science Lecture Set Thursday
Dr. L. A. Geddes of Houston, as
sociate professor of physiology at
the Baylor Medical College and
University of Texas Dental Col
lege, will lecture on “Engineering
in Medicine” at A&M University
8 p.m. today, in the Biological Sci
ence Building.
Geddes is also director of Bay
lor’s Division of Biomedical En
gineering and is a consultant to
the U. S. Air Force on respiration
and acceleration. He also serves
as a consultant to NASA’s projects
Gemini and Apollo and has worked
with Chance Vought Astronautics
on special space vehicle studies.
ASC To Host
Police School
Approximately 30 North Texas
area policemen will attend a four-
week training program at Arling
ton State College June 22 through
July 17.
The school, conducted by A&M
University’s police training center,
will feature attorneys, state and
federal law enforcement officials
as speakers.
The policemen will tackle such
subjects as crowd control and mob
psychology, sex crimes, arrest
techniques, laws of evidence, how
a bill becomes a law and other
related matters.
The speakers include Joe R.
Tunal, Fort Worth police sergeant;
George Lumpkin, Dallas deputy
police chief; Roland Howerton,
Fort Worth assistant police chief;
Lynwood G. Elliott of Austin, chief
legal examiner with the Texas
Liquor Control Board.
Also Charlie Batchelor, Dallas’
assistant police chief; Doug Crouch,
Fort Worth attorney, and C. C.
Benson, manager of the National
Auto Theft Bureau in Dallas.
Lewis Berry, editor of the Texas
Lawman’s magazine, and Forrest
V. Sorrels of Dallas, U. S. Secret
Service agent, are other guest
lecturers.

May Graduate Wins Contest
William W. Martin of Amarillo, and Orthodox Center
who received his bachelor’s degree
from A&M University last month,
is $1,000 richer today after win
ning the “Discovery Toys Com
petition.”
Martin’s entry, a tubular “Re-
flecto Magic” device, received the
highest award in the nationwide
contest sponsored by the Creative
Playthings Foundation of Prince
ton, N. J.
Students from Wayne Universi
ty, Maryland Institute College of
Art and Cranbrook Academy of
Art took honorable mention hon
ors.
The winning entries will go on
display in July at the New York
World’s Fair in the Protestant
They are
for exhibit at
and art 'in-
also scheduled
colleges, museums
stitutes.
Martin’s entry was created as
part of a class assignment in the
School of Architecture.
By looking through the “Reflec-
to” tube one sees unusual three-
dimensional and vari-colored de
signs.
“One particular effect,” Martin
explains, “is a series of ‘inner
rooms,’ vanishing at oblique an
gles to infinity, like gazing into
a mine with colored walls.”
Martin graduated from Amarillo
High Scool in 1955 and enrolled at
A&M that fall. After two years
at A&M he went to the University
of Denver to acquire a degree in
advertising design.
He returned to A&M for his
degree in architecture. For the
past two years, he also has been
employed by Matthews and As
sociates, architects and engineers,
in Bryan.

Foundation of Houston have an
nounced a $30,000 grant to Dr.
Dwight C. Conway of A&M Uni
versity for chemical research ap
plying to the study of space and
to radiation chemistry.
Dr. Conway is an associate pro-
fesor of chemistry and a mem
ber of the Texas A&M Cyclotron
Institute.
The two-year grant will supple
ment university funds for a mass
spectrometer and other equipment
and for operational expenses.
Conway’s studies concern the
measurement of equilibria of ions
in the gas phase.
