Colorado Climatology

Mead in 1888, the observations were carried on by Professor 
V. E. Stolbrand until September 1 of that year, when Professor 
L. G. Carpenter was put in charge. Upon the organization of 
the Ex^jeriment Station, this work was transferred to it, and 
made a regular part of the investigations of the Section of 
Meteorology and Irrigation Engineering. Professor Carpenter 
remained in charge until January 1, 1911, and to his long con¬ 
tinued plan and steadfastness of purpose must he given a great 
deal of credit for the value of this work. I wish also to express 
my thanks for the interest and co-operation of the Director of 
the Experiment Station, Professor C. P. Gillette, and of Mr. 
V. M. Cone, who had charge of the Section from April 1, 1911, 
at which time the work of the Section was merged into a co¬ 
operative agreement with the Division of Irrigation Investiga¬ 
tions of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, until April 1, 
1918, at which time he resigned and was succeeded by Mr. R. L. 
Par shall, who is now in charge of the work. The writer has 
served as an assistant in this Section since April 1, 1891, and 
upon him has devolved the taking of the observations and the 
computations of this and the substations. 
Free use has been made of the previous publications of 
this Station in this line, also the publications of the Weather 
Bureau, which has been for several years under the charge of 
Mr. F. H. Brandenburg, and especially of the article on the 
Climate of Colorado, by Professor A. J. Henry, in Bulletin ^ W'” 
of the U. S. Weather Bureau.
