<br />site, some 58 kilometers to the north-northeast of Mingus <br />Mountain, had two storms with 10 hours or less duration. <br />At the individual sites the maximum storm duration was 73 <br />hours (ironically at the Mingus Mountain gauge site) and the <br />minimum was zero (at Mingus Mountain and the Flagstaff Arboretum). <br /> <br />3.2.3 <br /> <br />storm Precipitation Totals <br /> <br />storm totals for each precipitation gauge site in the <br />network are listed in Table 3-4 for each storm period along <br />with the all storm total and average for each site. The storm <br />totals are also indicated as a percentage of all the precipitation <br />recorded at each gauge site during the period of record. <br />It can be seen from Table 3-4, that nearly all the precipitation <br />which fell during the period of record is included in the <br />11 storm periods. <br /> <br />of the 11 periods, four were relatively minor (less than <br />0.10 inch average over the network), three were in the range <br />0.36 to 0.41 inch, two were in the range 0.84 to 0.98 inch, <br />and two were in the heavy category (1.49 to 3.10 inch). The <br />storm average precipitation total for all 11 storm periods <br />was a relatively high 0.71 inches but the median was only <br />0.36 inches. Without the February 23-26 storm, the average <br />was 0.47 inches but the median remained at 0.36 inches. These <br />numbers would suggest that a typical storm might be expected <br />to produce precipitation within the 0.25 to 0.50 inch range, <br />with a duration of about one day. <br /> <br />It was indicated earlier that the precipitation gauge <br />located on Mingus Mountain is on a separate mountain range <br />from the main cluster of gauges.
