| Title: | The Wyoming windshield - an evaluation after 12 years of use in Alaska / George P. Clagett. |
| Author(s): | Clagett, George P. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Western Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 56th Annual Meeting (1988) |
| Abstract: | Tests in Alaska indicate catch efficiency of 80 to 90% of total snowfall, not 48% as reported from Wyoming. Wyoming windshields afford catch 200% greater than National Weather Service's standard unshielded gauges during coldest period of winter (November-April) and 100% greater for whole winter. Results compared with those obtained with other shielded and non-shielded devices. |
| Notes: | Western Snow Conference. Proceedings. Vol. 56th Annual Meeting :113-123 (1988). |
| Keywords: | 551.508.77 -- Pluviometers, rain gauges and snow gauges. E3 -- Glaciology: instruments and methods. (*49) -- Alaska. |
