<br />C\l <br />C\J <br />~ <br /> <br />,-. <br />-- <br /> <br />A comparison of the study period with long term climate records is presented in Table 2. Mean <br />monthly air temperature and total monthly precipitation records are taken from the weather <br />station at Norwood (Index No. 6012). First-of-month snow water equivalent records are <br />presented from the Lone Cone snow course. In terms of total seasonal water available for <br />runoff (May 1 snow water equivalent plus May and June precipitation), 1976 and 1978 were <br />near normal years; 1979 and 1980 were considerably wetter than average years. <br />Reconstructed virgin flow volumes estimated at Beaver Creek near Norwood, including the <br />contributions from Goat Creek, are also presented in Table 2. In terms of runoff during May and <br />June, 1976 and 1978 were below average years; 1979 and 1980 were above average years. <br /> <br />TABLE 2 <br /> <br />COMPARISON OF STUDY PERIOD WITH LONG TERM AVERAGES <br /> <br /> Average <br /> (Period) 1976 1978 1979 ~ <br />Mean Monthly Air Temperature (oF) <br />Norwood Weather Station <br />May 51.5 (54) 52.0 54.4 50.6 48.0 <br />June_ 61.5 (54) 59.7 64.5 60.3 62.2 <br />Reconstructed Virgin Flow (KAF) <br />Beaver Creek near Norwood <br />May 11.49 (33) 10.18 10.08 13.90 14.01 <br />June 14.32 (33) 10.38 11.85 17.91 14.97 <br />Total 25.81 20.56 21.93 31.81 28.98 <br />First-of-Month Snow Water Equivalent (in.) <br />Lone Cone Snow Course <br />May 12.7 (22) 12.0 12.0 18.8 19.9 <br />Total Monthly Precipitation (in.) <br />Norwood Weather Station <br />May 1.06 (54) 1.77 1.76 1.13 2.11 <br />June .86 (54) .44 .57 1.36 0 <br />Season's Snow-Pack plus <br />Precipitation (in.) 14.6 14.2 14.3 21.2 22.0 <br /> <br />2 <br />
