A snow gauge is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of solid precipitation (as opposed to liquid precipitation, which is measured by a rain gauge) over a set period of time.
The list of snowiest places in the United States by state shows average annual snowfall totals for the period from mid-1985 to mid-2015. Only places in the official climate database of the National Weather Service, a service of NOAA, are included in this list. Some ski resorts and unofficial weather stations report higher amounts of snowfall ...
The same SNOTEL site in Nevada. The large panel in the foreground is the snow pillow. Basic SNOTEL sites have a pressure sensing snow pillow, storage precipitation gauge, and air temperature sensor. However, they can accommodate 64 channels of data and will accept analog and parallel or serial digital sensors.
Snow has fallen in every state across the country this winter, including parts of the Gulf Coast where flakes rarely fall. Even parts of Florida have had a taste of sno All 50 US states have ...
In Guatemala, the linear vara is 0.8421 meters. (The length of vara varies slightly among different Latin American countries.) One cuerda of 50 x 50 varas = 1,746.84 square meters (18,802.8 sq ft) One cuerda of 40 x 40 varas = 1,117.98 square meters (12,033.8 sq ft) One cuerda of 30 x 30 varas = 628.87 square meters (6,769.1 sq ft)
A measure of 100 by 100 varas (Spanish) is almost 7000 square meters, and is known traditionally throughout Spain and Latin America as a manzana (i.e., a "city block"). As well, lumber is still measured in Costa Rica using a system based on 4 vara , or 11 feet, for both round and square wood.
Snow water equivalent (SWE) is the depth of water that would result if the snow mass melted completely, whether over a given region or a confined snow plot, calculated as the product of the snow height in meters times the vertically-integrated density in kilograms per cubic meter.
Post-colonial: Spanish place names that have no history of being used during the colonial period for the place in question or for nearby related places. (Ex: Lake Buena Vista, Florida, named in 1969 after a street in Burbank, California) Non-Spanish: Place names originating from non-Spaniards or in non-historically Spanish areas.
