| Summary: | Paper copies in Archives, Acc #:2013-0059 This publication is the result of cooperation between many research entities whose separate contributions have made it possible to assemble this information concerning precipitation in the nation's largest state, Alaska. The program to extract precipitation probabilities from the raw data was developed by Drs. L. D. Bark and A. M. Feyerherm of Kansas State University of Agriculture and Applied Science as a contribution to the regional research of the North Central Committee NC-26 concerned with "Weather Information for Agriculture". The program was modified and adapted to a higher speed computer by Dr. G. L. Ashcroft of the Utah State University of Agriculture and Applied Science as a contribution of the Western regional Committee W-48, concerned with "Weather and its Relation to Agriculture. The final processing of Alaskan data was made possible by the close cooperation of the Western Data Processing Center of the University of California at Los Angeles and the personnel of the computer center of the University of Alaska at College. Foreword (with acknowledgement) -- Introduction and General Comments -- Figure 1: Chart of Mean Annual Precipitation -- Use of Precipitation Probabilities for Alaska -- Explanation and Discussion of Data Tabulations -- Table 1: Precipitation Means and Probabilities for 1, 2, and 3-Week Periods at: Adak, Anchorage, Bethel, Big Delta, Eagle, Fairbanks ( College Experiment Farm), Fort Yukon, Holy Cross, Homer, Iliamna, Kasilof, Ketchikan, Kodiak, McGrath, Matanuska (Matanuska Experiment Farm), Nome, Talkeetna -- Bibliography and Reference Material
