J. DOYNE SARTOR

James Doyne Sartor of the Mesoscale ResearchSection of the Atmospheric Analysis and PredictionDivision died unexpectedly last Friday, 22 February.Doyne was one of NCAR's earliest and most wellregarded employees; he joined the staff in 1962.Previously, he had worked as a scientist with theRand Corporation, as an officer serving in variouscapacities in the Air Weather Service of the U.S.Air Force, and as a meteorologist with the NavalResearch Laboratory and the U.S. Weather Bureau.He received his B.A. from the University of Califor-nia at Los Angeles, master's degrees in meteorologyfrom California Institute of Technology and Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology, and Ph.D. inatmospheric science from Colorado State University.

At a memorial service for Doyne held Tuesday atSt. Andrew Presbyterian Church, fellow scientistsBernhard Haurwitz, William Hall, and Chester Newtonspoke about their friend. Bill said, "I will always

remember Doyne as an extremely enthusiastic personwho loved to discuss our common scientific problems.As a pioneer in the field of atmospheric electricity,he is best known for his theories on cloud-particleinteractions and their role in the intensificationof electric fields in thunderstorms. He was anextremely versatile person contributing not onlynumerous conceptual theories and quantitative cal-culations of atmospheric electrical phenomena butalso contributing greatly in the areas of cloudphysical laboratory and field investigations."

Doyne's recent field projects took him to Africaand Indonesia for the Monsoon Experiments, where heperformed cloud microphysical surveys using a tech-nique he developed for use aboard the Electra air-craft. His other current projects included assessingthe possible interaction of solar activity withweather events occurring on earth, following a hy-pothesis he put forth more than a decade ago. Thiswas based on his calculations and laboratory experi-ments which demonstrated a pronounced speeding-upof droplet coalescence in cumulus clouds and thecorresponding intensification of the ambient elec-tric field inside thunderstorms. He was alsointerested in the effect of solar variations influ-encing the intensity of the electrical potential ofthe ionosphere that is responsible for the earth'sfair-weather field.

The author of more than 40 scientific papers andnumerous reports, reviews, and contributed papers,he was the recipient of the NCAR Outstanding Publi-cation Award in 1968. He was active on national andinternational scientific committees, serving mostrecently on the Cloud Physics Committee of theAmerican Meteorological Society.

Doyne is survived by his wife Nary; a son, JamesSartor of Boulder; a daughter, Leslie Ann SartorMallo of Boulder; and a sister, Thelma Bailey ofTulsa. * JR

ANNOUNCEMENTS

NEW PERSONNEL FILE RESTRICTIONS

The Personnel Department is changing its pro-cedure of allowing supervisors to remove the person-nel files of their employees from the PersonnelDepartment. Effective immediately, supervisors mayreview their employees' files in the PersonnelDepartment office, ML room 150, only. Employees arealso welcome to review their own files in the Person-nel Department office. No file may leave thatdepartment.

This procedural change is being made in order topreserve the privacy and access rights to informationcontained in these files andmeets the responsibilityto guarantee the integrity and safety of the onlyofficial and legal documentation existing on theemployment history of the Center's staff members.

MARCH ART EXHIBIT

D. Jan Stewart, who works with the NCAR AdvancedStudy Program, will exhibit a series of crochet"wheels" on the second-floor gallery of the MesaLaboratory during March.

"I have been making wheels for about five years,"Jan says. "They generally are recycled bicycle rimscovered with yarn and free-form crochet used tocreate the design. Someone gave me my first rim, ina slightly bent condition, and I found several skeinsof discarded yarn, so I decided to make somethingdecorative. Now I scavenge rims from bike shops andtake my time finding the right texture and color ofyarn for the effect I want to create." .

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S WEEK

The University of Colorado will celebrate Inter-national Women's Week next week (3-7 March) with afull schedule of lectures, open classes, films, andspecial events. For a complete listing of Women'sWeek activities see the orange brochure posted onthe bulletin board outside the Mesa Laboratory cafe-teria, or call the UMC Reception desk at 492-6161.

TUNE IN JACK EDDY TONIGHT

NCAR staff member John Eddy (High AltitudeObservatory) will appear on Channel 6 (KRMA TV)tonight, Friday, 29 February. The program iscalled "3-2-1 Contact," and will be on seasons andclimate. Sponsored by the Children's TelevisionWorkshop, the show is aimed primarily at eight- to12-year-olds.

ALL THIS JAZZ

On Saturday, 8 March, The Spike Robinson Quartetand the Charles Eaken Trio will perform at 8:00 p.m.in the main lobby of the Mesa Laboratory.

Contributions will be accepted (the sug-gested minimum is $7.50), and all proceeds willsupport the Colorado Music Festival. For reserva-tions call 443-1412 or 442-4968.

CONTEMPORARY BALLET AT NCAR

Brent Mason & Company, Boulder's contemporaryballet, will present three performances at theMesa Laboratory next week: a special afternoonperformance for NCAR staff members on Thursday(13 March) at 3:00 p.m.; and evening performanceson Thursday and Friday (13 and 14 March) at 8:00 p.m.

The program will include a romantic "pas dedeux" to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, asatirical contemporary work to music by Bach, adramatic modern work to the music of Charles Ives,a comedic "pas de deux" to the ballet classicsGZ6ett2e and Swan Lake, and a contemporary jazz bal-let to the music of Weather Report.

There will be no charge for the performances,although donations to the dance company will beaccepted at the door.

DISCOUNT MOVIE TICKETS AVAILABLE

Discount tickets for Mann theaters are stillbeing offered by the Employee Activities Committee(EAC) for use by NCAR staff members, families, andfriends.
