Abstract

Analysis of 52 events, which included both snowfall and rainfall, showed that the dual‐gage and the Wyoming shield precipitation measuring systems measured nearly the same amounts at an unprotected site on the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed in southwest Idaho. These systems were developed to accurately measure precipitation, more specifically snowfall, under windy conditions. The more legible record traces obtained from the Wyoming shield gage are a good reason for using this shield when installing precipitation gages at windy locations.
