<br />events, perhaps reflecting the time periods closer to the <br />passage of fronts or troughs. <br /> <br />3.2.12 <br /> <br />SUlDlllary <br /> <br />For easy reference, Table 3-9 contains a summary of the <br />precipitation statistics discussed in this section of the <br />report. Based on the available data from the Flagstaff Airport, <br />the general conclusion is that during the time 'period of the <br />field program the weather affecting the area of interest was <br />not significantly different than in any other year, except <br />that there were more days which produced measurable precipitation <br />than would normally be expected. <br /> <br />Precipitation totals at Flagstaff during the same period <br />were near normal and. it is assumed that, while the totals <br />at the gauge sites that made up the project precipitation <br />network were greater than at Flagstaff, they too represented <br />a near normal total for the area under study. <br /> <br />During the field program 11 storm periods were identified, <br />where the precipitation averaged over the network equalled <br />or exceeded 0.05 inches. At Flagstaff, nine of these same <br />storm periods also had precipitation totals of at least 0.05 <br />inches and some precipitation of a lesser amount was observed <br />during the other two storms. The 11 storms occurred during <br />portions of 28 days, while at Flagstaff, "storm" precipitation <br />fell on 25 days (about 10 percent less), suggesting that there <br />was nothing Significantly different about the number of storms <br />in the study area. <br /> <br />3-53 <br /> <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />, <br />, <br />I <br />I <br />f <br />i' <br />i <br />I <br />\f <br />,t <br />,I <br />f <br />I <br />f <br />t <br />,I <br />I <br /> <br />
