Monitoring Sites; and the Table of Contents of Appendices C through E <br />have all been revised to correlate the old site (and map) name to the <br />new (Paradox) computer name. The new computer name will be used <br />throughout the following text. <br />Meteorological Data <br />Precipitation data is collected from a Belfort Weighing Bucket Rain Gage <br />situated adjacent to Surface Water Site SW-S2W-FG1. Data for this year <br />may be found in Table 1. Total monthly precipitation data collected at <br />this site since Water Year 1990 are presented in Table 2. The Seneca II- <br />W precipitation gage measured 19.26 inches this year. This value is 1.40 <br />inches (8%) above the 1990-2006 average of 17.76 inches. All months <br />except February, April, May and June were above average. Temperature, <br />wind speed, and direction data from the Seneca II-W Meteorologic Station <br />are presented in Appendix B. Several problems occurred at this station <br />this year, including missing data in January thru March and questionable <br />temperature data in October thru January. In order to make up for the <br />data gaps, data from NOAA's Hayden Station is also provided in Appendix <br />A. <br />Data from the National Climatic Data Center's Hayden Station is used <br />here to evaluate the precipitation trend. For this year, 21.14 inches <br />of precipitation was measured, which is 3.80 inches (22g) above the <br />1971-2000 average. All months except February, April, May and June were <br />above average. Snowpack runoff, as estimated by totaling November <br />through March precipitation values, was 9.25 inches, which was 2.07 <br />inches (29~) above the 1971-2000 average. <br />Snowpack runoff, estimated using the Seneca II-W precipitation gage, was <br />7.92 inches (November-March total), which is 0.98 inches (14 ~) above the <br />Seneca II-W 1990-2006 average, 6.94 inches. These values are more <br />relevant than the Hayden Station data when evaluating the spring runoff <br />observed this year at Seneca II-W. <br /> <br />Z <br />
