<br />Rainfall was observed using Belfort recording weighing rain gages <br />with strip charts. These charts were manually checked and digitized by <br />the Colorado River Municipal Water District in Big Spring and were <br />processed and quality controlled at Texas Tech University (Jurica et <br />!l., 1981, 1982). Digital tapes of the final processed data with 15 min <br />time resolution and 0.25 mm (0.01 in) rainfall increments were then <br />entered in the Skywater EDN. These data were tabulated by station and <br />15 min intervals and 24 h station totals were plotted for each of the 60 <br />field season days to detect any obvious errors. Only two events with <br />bad data were detected and corrected in the final data set which had <br /> <br />more than 700,000 rain gage reporting periods during the 1979 field <br />season. All kinematic objective analyses provided d~rect comparison <br /> <br />with rain gage using a 0.20 grid shown in Fig. 2.3. <br /> <br />33.6 <br /> <br /> 33.1 <br /> 33.2 <br /> 33.0 <br />c; 32.8 <br />w <br />9 <br />to- 32.6 <br />a: <br />..J <br /> 32.1 <br /> 32.2 <br /> 32.0 <br /> <br /> <br />.' <br />I <br /> <br />.! <br /> <br />- . <br /> <br />... i+ <br />I <br />i + <br /> <br />; <br />~.. <br /> <br />+ I + <br />I <br /> <br />i + <br /> <br />1- .. -. .. <br />; .... + <br /> <br />.. ~ <br />~ <br /> <br />+. <br />1"... .. ... <br /> <br />+; <br /> <br />.. r ; .." ::+:...+: <br />+ 1+ +1 - -.1- + t <br />- _+ I <br />+ ~..... lI- <br />i + t <br />+; I <br />! 1- <br /> <br />;. <br /> <br />. + <br />.. + I <br />... ! <br /> <br />t + <br /> <br />... -i... <br /> <br /> <br />3'.8 <br /> <br />102.6 102.1 102.2 '02.0 101.8 101.6 IC:.1 ,;):.2 101.0 100.8 <br />LONG lDEG I <br /> <br />"'ID S'ZE: 111:5 LlITJ - D.2D <br /> <br />Fig. 2.3 Objective analysis grid and rain gage network used in mesoscale <br />kinematic analyses.
