South Fork Climatic Station - C3

The elevation at C3 is 10,640 feet. Precipitation data was hand read

from the charts from September 8, 1965 to August 22, 1975. The data

from August 30, 1975 to October 4, 1977 was digitized. Some of the

missing data was estimated by means of regression-correlation procedures.

C3 was correlated with Cl, C5, C7, and Leadville. The following equations

were obtained:

from Cl

2
Y = .0713 + .3601X; R = .265

from C5

Y = .0561 + .8073X; R2= .4775

from C7

2
Y = .0431 + .7338X; R = .5000

from Leadville

Y = .0172 + .4289X; R2= .7697

Times during which the clock was stopped and the total precipitation which

fell in that time period are in the following chart:
