<br />c::- <br /> <br />potential than precipitation observations to be examined later. However, precipitation measurements have <br />the advantage of being available for complete winter seasons over many years. <br /> <br />Table 3.1 has been extracted from the previously cited final reports for the 3 years in question with <br />precipitation data for 1989 supplied by Huggins (personal communication). The mass of SL W passing <br />over each meter of ridgeline of the Tushars has been estimated for all stonns with any microwave <br />radiometer observations (seven stonns had no data). The beginning date of each stonn and its duration <br />are noted in columns 1 and 2. Whenever SL W data were missing for part of an episode it was assumed <br />that the observations for the fraction of the stonn measured (column 3) were representative of the entire <br />stonn duration and the estimated mass of SLW was adjusted accordingly (column 5). stonn precipitation <br />totals (column 4) are from the same gauge (P6) each season, located about 1 kilometer upslope from the <br />radiometer site. <br /> <br />Table 3.1. .
