Abstract | An extensive network of storage precipitation gages covering the upper reaches of the Saskatchewan river system is described in detail. Recent developments have increased the network to include snow survey courses in the higher elevations. Analysis of existing records has made possible the adjustment of data for under-catch at the storage gages, due to wind effects. Normal isohyetal maps covering the area have been constructed. Double mass diagrams and statistical methods were employed for this adjustment of data. Precipitation elevation relationships were also taken into account. |
