| dc.description | The article addresses the topic of what constitutes both wet and dry days in North Dakota. Depending upon what activity is planned, a "dry" day is not necessarily defined as one without precipitation. For some farming operations precipitation
totaling 0.10 might not be critical; but more than 0.10 inch of rain would, in effect, create
a "wet" day for these operations.
Thus, various levels of precipitation can be established and a day when these levels are not exceeded can be termed "dry." By the same reasoning, a "wet" day occurs only when certain precipitation levels are reached. The authors detail how these days are determined via the examination and summarizing of some of the long-term climatic records of the Weather Bureau in North Dakota. | |
