Excerpt from An Analysis of Rainfall in Shark Slough
This report examines a 22 month period of rainfall monitoring (december 1977 September 1979) within the slough in order to: (1) quantify direct rainfall inputs, (2) compare these inputs to regulated water inputs, and (3) evaluate sources of error which might be minimized in future monitoring efforts designed to supply rainfall data for water management requirements.
Since the known climatic characteristics of an area are pertinent to the design of a rainfall monitoring network, a brief section on south Florida rainfall patterns has also been included. In addition, three long-term stations on the periphery of Shark Slough have been utilized to calculate the approximate rainfall contributions to the slough from 1950 to 1979. Determinations of rainfall input based upon these three stations also have been used to assess the accuracy of rainfall determinations acquired from the 22 months of intensive monitoring.
