PRIMET, CENTRAL, VANILLA,
& UPLO
precipitation comparisons
GOAL: To investigate
the precipitation regimes between the benchmark met stations, specifically to
investigate the suspected tendency for the lower elevation sites to receive
more winter precipitation than the upper elevation sites.
Data used for this study was processed from original raw
data from the met sites, and visually assessed for quality. Flags were assigned to every data point
deemed questionable or otherwise worthy of note. Charts are presented here in two sets; the first set of charts
shows graphs of all processed data for the time periods, while data for the
second set was filtered of all flagged data.

data used and a list of flag codes (this study will be updated when data processing
is brought up-to-date).
PRIMET was used as a representation of the headquarters area
instead of CS2MET; the precipitation regimes for both are similar and can be
viewed here.
