<br />, <br /> <br />Acknowledgments <br />The authors are indebted to the members of the Colorado <br />Hydrometeorological Committee for their encouragement and assistance <br />over a period of several years as we formulated our ideas, sought and <br />found funding and eventually completed a new precipitation map for <br />Colorado. Their assistance in locating data sources and their critical <br />review of the final analysis added greatly to the success of this <br />project. <br />Sincere thanks to Jim Kircher. Bob Jarrett and James Blakey of the <br />U. S. Department of the Interior Geological Survey Colorado District <br />Water Resources Division who took on the responsibilities and the <br />expenses of drafting and printing the precipitation map. We especially <br />thank Dick Tucker whose ideas, drafting skills, and attention to <br />details, gave the map its accuracy and its visual appeal. Without the <br />support of the U. S. Geological Survey this project simply could not <br />have been completed. <br />We would like to thank Odilia Panella for her secretarial <br />assistance in completing this report. James Cowie performed many <br />analyses and tabulations resulting in the maps of precipitation <br />variability. And finally, we want all of the hundreds of weather <br />observers, whose observations were used in this analysis, to know that <br />their interest and cooperation over the years has been and will continue <br />to be greatly appreciated. <br />This project was made possible by a grant from the National Climate <br />Program Office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration <br />(Grant No. NA80AA-D-OOl18l and from funding from the Colorado State <br />University Experiment Station. <br /> <br />;;. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />ii <br /> <br />~ <br />
