► Methods
- Current Methods
- Precipitation and volume
- Started: 1980-01-01
- Method Description: Precipitation volume and pH are recorded on an event basis.
- Started: 1980-01-01
- Rain and snow collection
- Method Description: Rainfall is intercepted by a funnel and passes through a length of tygon tubing until it reaches and is collected in a one gallon jug. Snow is collected and melted indoors to completely melt before pH is measured.
