Abstract

Tables and scatter diagrams are presented which illustrate variations in precipitation and snow measurements and derived relationships. The computed statistics give measures of these variations. A comparison of daily accumulations of precipitation and snow water equivalent values are discussed and illustrated. A comparison of accumulations of precipitation values from two separated gages and snow survey water equivalent increments for identical periods are also discussed and illustrated. Discussion by Harold A. Keith.
