Abstract: Some results are presented of a comparison of the observations of precipitation catch in pairs of standard 8-inch gages, one equipped with an Alter-type windshield and the other unshielded. The ratios of the catches of ...

Abstract: A Markov chain probability model is shown to fit sequences of wet or dry days in records of various length and for several climatically different areas. Seasonal variation of the probability values is shown, but no apparent ...

Abstract: A single, simple algebraic equation is given expressing the complete frequency-duration relationship of the precipitation regime at any station. The constants involved in the equation are theoretically fixed for the ...
