TICK SEASON IS HERE AGAIN

With the advent of spring weather, ticks areback again in Colorado's wooded and mountainousareas, including the land surrounding the Mesa Lab.Sta6d Note was alerted to this year's appearanceof the pesky bugs by Maranne Reaves (Graphics), whodiscovered one on her side last week. "I must havepicked it up somewhere between the Mesa Lab and theparking lot," Maranne told Stadj Notes, "because Idid not walk out on the mesa that day. Luckily Ifelt it before it managed to embed itself."

The Rocky Mountain tick is about the size of aladybug. It has eight legs and no feelers (seeillustration). When not engorged both female and

male are flat, but after feeding the female becomesvery distended and saclike. Ticks are often foundon low-hanging shrubs or grass, less than 18 inchesabove the ground. They transfer to the clothing ofthe passerby, slowly crawl upward until they cometo an uncovered portion of the body, and then attach.Thus, when walking in a tick-infested area it is bestto wear your pants tucked into high socks; boots;and a long-sleeved, high-necked shirt that is snugaround the wrists. Examine closely your neck, scalp,hair, and legs above the socks, for these are fre-quent areas of attachment.

If you find an unattached tick on your body,brush or pick it off and then kill it. Attachedticks should be pulled off gently, preferably withtweezers, to avoid leaving the head embedded. Adeeply embedded tick may come loose if a sterile,hot knife, pin, or similar object is applied to it.As soon as the tick is removed, the wound should betreated with an antiseptic. If symptoms should de-velop, even though the tick has been removed andthe wound treated, consult your doctor immediately.

Ticks are potential carriers of the commonplaceColorado tick fever and the less common but moreserious Rocky Mountain spotted fever (which, despiteits name, rarely occurs in the Rocky Mountains).Bites from disease-carrying ticks can also resultin relapsing fever and tularemia, an infectiousdisease caused by a bacterium.

According to a National Safety Council document,a typical case of Colorado tick fever is marked bya sudden onset of chills, headache, and fever, fouror five days after a bite from a diseased tick.Nausea and vomiting may also occur. Typically thedisease causes high fever for a few days, followedby a low fever for a few days, followed by anothertwo to four days of high fever. The temperatureusually drops sharply to normal and remains there,but convalescence may be prolonged.

The National Safety Council describes RockyMountain spotted fever as one of the most severe ofinfectious diseases and one that can sometimes leadrapidly to death. However, early treatment withantibiotics is effective and usually brings recovery.The symptoms occur four to eight days after exposureand are characterized by a sudden onset of chills,headache, general achiness, and a high fever. .

QUEEN AIR FLIES SOUTH

One of the NCAR Queen Air aircraft departed onMonday, 12 May, for a one-month stay at Big Spring,Texas. The Queen Air will be used in support of theTexas High Plains Experiment program. For thisexperiment, the Queen Air was equipped with twoparticle spectrometer probes (one for measuring thesize of cloud particles and one for measuring thesize of precipitation particles), an air-motionprobe, cameras for cloud photography, and standardinstrumentation for pressure, temperature, dewpoint, etc. For the project, a small televisionmonitor was installed in the cockpit for the real-time display of particle size distribution generatedby the ARIS IV (Airborne Research InstrumentationSystem) computer. Alexis Long-and James Scogginsof Texas A&M University are the principal investi-gators. They are interested in identifying pre-cipitation mechanisms in cumulus congestus clouds.Research Aviation Facility personnel on the projectare Edward Brown, project engineer; WilliamWhelpley, technician; and Robert Burris, pilot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

AMS DINNER MEETING

The Denver chapter of the American Meteorolog--ical Society (AMS) will be holding its annual dinnermeeting on Thursday, 29 May. This year's meetingwill feature a talk by Chester Newton (NCAR'sAtmospheric Analysis and Prediction Division)entitled "China Revisited--A Travelogue of theRecent AMS Visit to the Chinese Meteorology Society."The dinner meeting will be held at the FlatironsCountry Club, 5706 Arapahoe Road in Boulder, andwill begin at 6:15 p.m. with an informal cash barfollowed by dinner at 7:00 p.m. The dinner willconsist of salad, entree oA, baked potatovegetable,and sherbet. There are two entrees to choose from:boneless breast of chicken at $6.75 or top sirloinsteak at $7.95. Reservations, choice of entree,and payment must be mailed by 21 May to DonaldPerkey, RL-6 room C112.

ELEVATORS TO BE SHUT DOWN

The door operators on the elevator serving thelibrary and the north tower elevator are wearingout and must be replaced. This low-rise elevator,in the center of the building (main foyer south) isbeing modified this week. It will be out of servicefrom 12 May through 20 May.

From 21 May through 30 May the north towerelevator will be down. Physically impaired staffmembers may wish to make special arrangements withtheir supervisors for work during this period.

The south tower elevator has been modifiedpreviously and will not be affected except fornormal maintenance.

NCAR SUMMER TOURS

The Information Office will begin its summertours of the Mesa Laboratory on 2 June. Thesetours, by reservation only, will be conducted eachweekday afternoon and will include a slide show, atalk on some of NCAR's programs, and a guided tourthrough the exhibit areas of the Mesa Lab. Reserva-tions and information about tour schedules areavailable from the Information Office, ext. 262.

VACUUM SOCIETY SYMPOSIUM

The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the AmericanVacuum Society (a division of the American PhysicsSociety) will be sponsoring the Aspen Symposium on25, 26, and 27 June in Aspen, Colorado. This sympo-sium will consist of a technical program featuringinvited speakers and contributed papers, two shortcourses, and an exhibit of vacuum, thin-film, andsurface analytical equipment. Abstracts of con-tributed papers must be submitted by 1 June.Further information on the symposium (the program,registration, and details about contributions) maybe obtained from Richard Adams, Rockwell Inter-national, P.O. Box 464, Golden, Colorado, telephone497-2941.

GLOBAL WEATHER EXPERIMENT FILM

The Information Office has recently obtaineda film on the Global Weather Experiment. A show-ing of this film has been scheduled for Wednesday,21 May, at 12:30 p.m. in the Main Seminar Room ofthe Mesa Laboratory. After the showing next week,this film, like others held by the InformationOffice, will be available for loan to NCAR staff.A list of all films held by the Information Officeis available from Nita Razo, ext. 262.

LUNCHEON WINNER OF THE WEEK

Each week a free lunch is awarded to the personwhose name is drawn from a fishbowl of signed lunchreceipts in the Mesa Lab cafeteria. The free lunchmust be collected within a week of the Tuesday draw-ing. The winner's name will be posted in the

cafeteria above the bowl, and will also appear inStaff Notes (on Friday) as a reminder. This week'swinner is:
