APPENDIX B 



METEOROLOGICAL DATA 



This appendix presents summaries of the meteorological data in the follow- 

 ing formats: 



(a) Chart log: The starting and ending dates for periods of time 

 when there were no gaps or only minor gaps in the operational status 

 of the meteorological instruments with analog (chart) recording 

 capabilities. 



(b) Keynotes on meteorological observations: A list of observa- 

 tion symbols and their respective interpretation is provided for use 

 in interpreting the monthly meteorological data tables. 



(c) Monthly data tables: The daily meteorological observations 

 are tabulated by month. The "amount of precipitation" represents the 

 total precipitation since the last reset of the rain gage (i.e., the 

 bucket was emptied); consequently, the values entered on a Monday 

 would represent the total rainfall since the previous reading on the 

 past Friday. The same situation holds true for the maximum and mini- 

 mum thermometers which are also manually reset. The values reported 

 represent the temperature extremes since the last resetting.
