Abstract
ABSTRACT: The Wyoming shield and dual‐gage measuring systems were developed to measure all precipitation, but more specifically snowfall under windy conditions. Results of a study at five sites on the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed in southwest Idaho indicate that gages with Wyoming shields and the dual‐gage system measured the same amount when air temperatures were higher than −2.2°C. Precipitation amounts computed from the dual. gage system were slightly more than from gages with Wyoming shields for snowfall, especially under windy conditions. Results also show how well the Alter shielded and unshielded gages used in the dual‐gage system represent the computed catch if data were only available from one or the other of the gages.
