Excerpt from Precipitation Characteristics of Summer Storms at Straight Canyon Barometer Watershed, Utah Precipitation records in high mountain areas are scanty. In Utah and the balance of Western United States nearly all of the rainfall intensity gages are located at elevations below ft (1 829 m) m.s.l. Even in the valleys most of the recording rain gage records have not been reduced except by hours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Precipitation Characteristics of Summer Storms at High-Elevation Stations in Utah This paper presents the results of data analyses for 25 precipitation intensity stations on two study areas in central and north-central Utah located at elevations between 4, 350 and 10, 150 feet m. S. 1. All data were collected during the period May 1 to October 31. Each station has 10 or more years of record; one station has 30 years of record. The'following analyses were made: (1) Record consistency; (2) definition of local precipi tation zones; (3) intensity - duration - frequency characteristics; (4) 24-hour depths; (5) monthly depths and number of storms; (6) storm occurrence by hour of the day; and (7) storm occurrence by storm duration. The precipi tation zone between and feet m. S. L. Is expected to receive the greatest rainfall intensities. There is a trend toward reduced intensities with increasing elevation but the trend is not uniform. However, those pre cipitation zones that receive the most intense rainfall do not coincide with those zones receiving the greatest depth of rainfall. Generally, rainfall depth increases with elevation, but on one study area the zone that received the greatest depth was not the highest elevation zone. A marked difference in the distribution of storm occurrence by hour between the two study areas is attributed to differences in storm type and to differences in the principal source of summer moisture. Average storm length varies inversely with elevation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.
