One Plot, One Gauge, Six Years of Weather

Field notes

The plot register describes heavy loam over sand, a five-inch gauge 300 mm above short grass, and a slatted thermometer screen at 1.25 m. The entries include monthly rainfall means and comparisons with county frost timing; one article reports that a second gauge four metres away differed by a fifth of the total, while the water-butt piece compares expected roof runoff with measured collection.
