<br />Meteorology for the 1997 Flood Season <br /> <br />In addition to the physical factors, demographics also may playa role <br />in explaining the higher occurrence of extreme precipitation bullseyes <br />in northeastern Colorado. Extreme precipitation bullseyes and their <br />impact have a higher tendency to be observed in northeastern <br />Colorado because of the higher population. <br /> <br />In general, the large-scale atmospheric conditions described here set the <br />stage for the heavy precipitation that was observed across the state in late <br />July and August of 1997. Atmospheric scientists continue to investigate the <br />large-scale atmospheric conditions associated with the 1997 flood season. <br />Detailed meteorological analyses will be available when these studies are <br />complete. This report does not attempt to duplicate those efforts. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />d479/chap2,doc OB/12/98 <br /> <br />2-4 <br />
