R -- SNOW ACCUMULATION ALGORITHM (SAA) AND ASSOCIATED SPIN-OFF PROJECTS SOL 98SQ810009 DUE 030998 POC Margaret C. Miller, Contracting Officer, (303) 445-2435 WEB: Acquisition and Assistance Services Current Solicitation Page, http://www.usbr.gov/aamsden/AAMSsol.html. E-MAIL: Margaret C. Miller, Contracting Officer, mmiller@do.usbr.gov. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has a requirement for computer programming services and data processing services related to hydrometeorological research being performed by scientists in Reclamation's River Systems and Meteorology Group. Total contracting service requirements may vary with the individual task orders issued during a given year but are expected to approximate 1500 hours per year. This requirement is expected to continue for a 3 year period. Special emphasis will be placed on developing and testing of software needed for development of NEXRAD radar precipitation algorithms, and processing of large amounts of digital data from NEXRAD radars. However, dealing with various other meteorological information also requires programming and data processing services. FORTRAN is the standard programming language used in NEXRAD precipitation algorithms, and will be the most common language used in this work. Programming in other languages of similar complexity (e.g. C, UNIX Script) may sometimes be appropriate. (0042)
