Abstract

Black Rock Forest has been measuring precipitation using an aluminum bucket gauge since 1960. Total rainfall is measured after each event to the nearest hundredth of an inch. Snow depth is measured adjacent to the bucket and snow in the collection bucket is melted to determine the snow water equivalent. The gauge is located in a meadow at 129 Continental Road, Cornwall, New York.
