Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Research Service Precipitation Facilities and Related Studies The studies are primarily aimed at providing information about precipitation pertinent to research on the hydrology of specific agricultural watersheds rather than for investigations of precipitation patterns for their own sake. Nevertheless, some of the gages in the observational program have been placed on an equally spaced grid or otherwise stratified so that information about the temporal and spatial variations of precipitation on the areas sampled are provided within practical limits. Although obtained primarily from rural areas, the findings from the networks can also be taken as indicative of precipitation in urban settings, except for large metropolitan areas where local conditions may cause unique patterns.
