Sažetak

The water equivalent of snow on the ground is calculated from snow observations from Hveravellir, Iceland from the period 1965-2003. The result is compared to conventional precipitation observations and formulas for correction of precipitation observations in winds and sub-zero temperatures are derived. The reults open a way for improvements of the mapping of precipitation in windy and snowy regions.
