2.1.5 Installation of Instrumentation Network - The Colorado River
Basin Pilot Project's basic instrumentation network consists of 62
recording precipitation gages, 14 nonrecording precipitation gages
along two mountain pass profilE?s, 8 collectors for obtaining daily
snow samples, 6 hygrothermographs" 5 mountaintop wind recording
systems, 4 expansion-type ice nucleus counters, 2 theodolites for
tracking pilot balloons, and 2 time-lapse camera sites. The locations
of pilot project measurement sites within the San Juan Mountain Range
are shown in Figure 2. Additional precipitation data are obtained from
