<br />Jack, 4) the ratio of these SLW hours to the episode duration <br />(as a percent of the duration), 5) the approximate distance <br />(in nautical miles) to a synoptic feature (D.T.S.F.-SLW), <br />e.g., low, front, trough, from Happy Jack when SLW was first <br />observed, 6) the trend of the SLW observations during the <br />episode, 7) the a) average SLW (in mm per hour) for the hours <br />which equalled or exceeded .01 mm and b) the average SLW for <br />the entire episode duration, 8) the ratio of the number of <br />hours that SLW averaged in the moderate or strong category <br />(greater than .10 mm per hour) to the total number of SLW <br />hours observed (as a percent of the total), 9) the number <br />of hours that precipitation, of at least .002 inch (.05mm), <br />was recorded at Happy Jack during the episode, 10) the ratio <br />of these precipitation hours to the episode duration (as a <br />percent of the total), 11) the approximate distance to a synoptic <br />feature from Happy Jack when precipitation was first observed <br />(D.T.S.F.-pcpn), 12) the total precipitation at Happy Jack <br />(or another gauge site if none at Happy Jack), and 13) the <br />coldest temperature over the area during the episode at the <br />a) 700 mb level and, b) 500 mb levels. In addition, where <br />relevant, the table contains the average, median, maximum <br />and minimum values for all the cases for each of the parameters. <br /> <br />Four of the episodes were of the Medina A-1 storm type <br />and all produced significant precipitation (nearly an inch <br />or more). Average SLW (when it averaged at least .01 mm per <br />hour) for this storm type was .115 mm with the median between <br />.09 and .11 mm, but individual storm SLW averages ranged from <br />.051 mm to .205 mm per hour. <br /> <br />Ten of the episodes were generally of the Medina A-2 <br />type (although two or three were rather poor examples) and <br /> <br />3-15 <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
