SnowConnection 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Japan Meteorological Agency defines: http://www.kishou.go.jp/know/yougo_hp/kousui.html Ou-yuki is a subjective term, a snow level when a local observatory "would" declear a snow advisary (Keiho). It depends on local observatories (e.g.): http://www.weather-service.co.jp/Public/cts0004/weather/wrng/ooyukichu.html JMA also has a objective definition. Tsuyoi-yuki: equal or more 3cm/hour Yowaki-yuki: below 1cm/hour Ko-yuki: below 1mm/hour I do not know how they call snow 1cm to 3cm/hour. Simply "yuki" ? JMA "Kousetsu-ryo" (a measurement): http://www.sendai-jma.go.jp/tidai/aomori/aomori/yuki/yougoshu.pdf Time1: Snow fall between 09:00 to 15:00. Time2: Snow fall between 15:00 to 21:00. Time3: Snow fall between 21:00 to 09:00. I do not know why 03:00 is not a check time. Probably, it is in sleeping time.... Link to post Share on other sites
