On the Walnut Gulch experimental watershed near Tombstone, Arizona, precipitation intensities at four locations were measured with adjacent recording rain gages having 6‐hour per revolution and 24‐hour per revolution time scales. Maximum intensities determined from the 6‐hour gage records were found to be significantly greater than intensities determined from the 24‐hour gage records for intervals up to 10 minutes.
