Extension of normals by precipitation‐data and by comparison with another stream
G. L. Parker
1936, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (17) 542-543
The factors affecting relationship between precipitation and consequent runoff are multitudinous and their interrelation is exceedingly complex. They vary widely from time to time and place to place. Basic data are meager and the weight to be given to any single factor is usually uncertain. Runoff‐characteristics of drainage‐areas within the...
