<br />00D427 <br /> <br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />A sample of daily precipitation and ternera- <br />ture data from 30 weather observing locations in or <br />near the Upper Colorado River Basin have been <br />placed on cards and partially analyzed by computer <br />techniques. The sample represents a total of 1660 <br />station years and analytical conclusions give a good <br />representation of the climatic ranges for this area. <br />Frequency of precipitation at multiple time <br /> <br />intervals for each location are presented. Major <br />storms having a recurrence less than once per <br />year have been found to contribute significantly to <br />rlUloff in the Upper Colorado River. Preliminary <br />techniques for adjusting actual precipitation to <br />more closely relate to runoff are presented and <br />further refinements are anticipated. Variations in <br />moisture sources have been studied. <br /> <br />v <br />
