This publication The present publication is the second in the new paper-back series which provides the information on rainfall over the United Kingdom that was formerly given in Part I of British Rainfall. It gives monthly and annual totals of rainfall and, where available, the rainfall on the wettest day of the year by amount and date(s). 2. Station details The publication includes the 'Hydrometric Station Number' for each station: this is the reference number used by the Meteorological Office to identify station data. The location of the rain-gauge site is given by National Grid Reference to the nearest 100 metres. The altitude of the rain-gauge site above mean sea level is given to the nearest metre. The name of the rainfall station is that used by the Meteorological Off­ ice under rules which require that the primary name should normally appear on the 1-inch Ordnance Survey map and/or its 1:50 000 metric successor; the supplementary part of a name, which appears after a comma, is included to assist identification, e.g. 'York, Poppleton' and 'York, Acomb Landing'. For stations whose data were published in British Rainfall it is obviously desirable that there should be some continuity in naming; in a few cases this consideration has been given preference over the usual naming rules and the name adopted may not in fact appear on current Ordnance Survey maps. Where a station name is prefixed by an asterisk the rain-gauge is set with its rim at ground level, surrounded by a pattern of antisplash grid which is acceptable to the Meteorological Office. Where a station name is prefixed by the symbol # the station is located in England although it is shown within the Hydrometric Areas associated with Scottish River Purification Boards; such stations fall within the data areas of the Northumbrian River Authority if in the north-east, or of the Cumberland River Authority if in the north-west. The average annual rainfall at stations for the period 1916-50 is given in as many cases as possible. Estimated averages are not included. River flow measurement stations, although in some cases allocated a 'Hydrometric Station Number', are not included in the publication. 3. Rivers and streams The publication follows earlier practice in that it endeavours to ass­ ociate rain-gauges with particular catchments and accordingly names the associated rivers and streams. It is not practicable to identify every stream in the country and some minor features have necessarily been ignored. However, in general, a stream is separately identified if it is more than four miles long and has, or has had, a number of rainfall stations within its catchment. in As with station names, a number of subjective decisions have had to be taken. The name of the river or stream not uncommonly changes throughout its course: a stream which enters and leaves a lake may thereby acquire a new name. In general, such rivers are identified by the name in use at the lowest reaches, that at the mouth or that at the confluence with a larger river to which it is a tributary. 4. River Authorities and hydrometric areas Although changes in local government boundaries and changes in water authority organization took place in 1974/75 and this booklet is pub­ lished after that time, the data are related to arrangements in existence at the time of the observations and to the river authority areas (in Scot­ land to River Purification Board areas) in 1970. 5. Data The unit of rainfall amount that is used is the millimetre (mm). Monthly and annual totals are the summation of daily and monthly totals in that unit. If for any station or any period the unit of measurement was the inch, the daily data have been converted to millimetres: the monthly totals now reported for such stations are the sums of the daily mi Mi- metric equivalents of the rainfall measured. The data from each station have been subjected to the routine quality- control procedure in operation by the Meteorological Office at the time of data receipt. Any corrections or adjustments have been incorporated in the figures now presented. Certain practices operating during the period of publication of British Rainfall have been kept, namely the retention in archives of all data as originally submitted, and the omission from the published information of data from stations which appear too unrepresentative of the rainfall regime indicated by the bulk of rainfall stations in the area. The present publication continues the practice commenced with the first new paper-back edition, that for 1969, in that reports from stations from which data for the year are incomplete are included. Some stations opened or closed during the year and for others a local shift of site occurred which is thought to have been sufficient to raise doubts about the homogeneity of the old and new observations. New hydrometric station numbers have been allocated in the latter instance. When data are missing in a random manner from the Meteorological Off­ ice data set for 1970, then the station in question will not, in general, be included in the lists of published data. In a certain limited number of cases, missing monthly totals are estimated and such estimated values are shown in the table by brackets around the totals. Where totals have been subjected to substantial amendment during the quality- control process, this too is indicated by the presence of brackets around the rainfall totals. Such amendments, in addition to the treatment accorded suspect daily values, could arise for example from the re- apportionment of rainfall reported when the observation on the first day of the month has been missed, or because of adjustments arising from snowfall. It has not proved possible to review the data for stations in Scotland to include incomplete-year data for 1970. IV 6. Availability This series of booklets has been introduced to meet the needs within the Meteorological Office. Further, it provides the opportunity to ack­ nowledge the contribution of many enthusiastic, private rainfall obser­ vers and co-operating rainfall station authorities who may receive a free copy for the period during which the data from their station(s) are published. Whilst the booklets are not produced for sale, the Meteorological Off­ ice is prepared to release surplus copies, on repayment, to libraries, universities and other educational establishments, and indeed to in­ dividuals, particularly if they wish to maintain a series of publications of rainfall data as a continuation to the former British Rainfall series. The publications are available only from the Meteorological Office: they will not be available through Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Davies National Rivers A h ority Environmental Protection Manager South West Region RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992 CLASSIFICATION BY DETERMINAND 1. INTRODUCTION River water quality is monitored in 34 catchments in the region. Samples are collected at a minimum frequency of once a month from 422 watercourses at 890 locations within the Regional Monitoring Network. Each sample is analysed for a range of chemical and physical determinands. These sample results are stored in the Water Quality Archive. A computerised system assigns a quality class to each monitoring location and associated upstream river reach. This report contains the results of the 1992 river water quality classifications for each determinand used in the classification process. 2. RIVER WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT The assessment of river water quality is by comparison of current water quality against River Quality Objectives (RQO's) which have been set for many river lengths in the region. Individual determinands have been classified in accordance with the requirements of the National Water Council (NWC) river classification system which identifies river water quality as being one of five classes as shown in Table 1 below: TABLE 1 NATIONAL WATER COUNCIL - CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CLASS DESCRIPTION 1A Good quality IB Lesser good quality 2 Fair quality 3 Poor quality 4 Bad quality The classification criteria used for attributing a quality class to each criteria are shown in Appendix 1.

  • The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain

Abstract Along with causewayed enclosures, the tor enclosures of Cornwall and Devon represent the earliest enclosure of large open spaces in Britain and are the earliest form of surviving non-funerary monument. Their importance is at least as great as that of causewayed enclosures, and it might be argued that their proposed associations with settlement, farming, industry, trade and warfare indicate that they could reveal more about the Early Neolithic than many causewayed enclosure sites. Yet, despite being recognised as Neolithic in date as early as the 1920s, they have been subject to a disproportionately small amount of work. Indeed, the southwest, Cornwall especially, is almost treated like another country by many of those studying the Early Neolithic of southern Britain. When mentioned, this region is more likely to be included in studies of Ireland and the Irish Sea zone than studies concerning England.
