a <br />Appendi.c F <br />I <br />CLIMATIC DATA CALCULATIDtI SUh1MARY <br />Long term temperature and precipitation data are available for both <br />Trinidad and North Lake near the mine sites. Mean precipitation and <br />temperature data for these locations are given in Table - 1. <br />1 Solar radiation was calculated using values of mean solar radiation <br />for cloudless skies, Rso, (Table 3.1, Jensen, 1973). Values of Rso for the <br />~ mine sites o-rere determined through curvelinear interpolation. The follow- <br />ing equation (Jensen, 1973) was used to calculate solar radiation, Rs, from <br />calculated Rso data. <br /> <br />where 5 represents the mean monthly percentage of possible sunshine. <br />Since this parameter is not collected at either station listed above mean . <br />monthly values for Pueblo were used. The results of these calculations <br />along with measured data for .4lamosa and Pueblo and data obtained rrom <br />i the Climatic Atlas of the United States are presented in Table - 2. <br />1 <br />i <br />
