Abstract
DURING the winter 1969–1970 we installed an 8 inch tipping-bucket recording rain gauge on a large spar-buoy, Totem, located at 45° 04′ N latitude 124° 44′ W longitude. This is about 56 km west of Cascade Head, Oregon. The water caught in the gauge was retained on the buoy and measured at intervals of approximately 1 month. Four such measurements of total rain were collected between November 22,1969, and April 6, 1970. Table 1 gives the measured rainfall at the buoy for these four periods, as well as measured rainfall at selected sites on the Oregon coast. During two of the periods the rain gauge recording functioned properly and we were thus able to obtain a chronology of the rainfall.
