Safnmælir úrkomu
í Jökulheimum
Mælinum er lýst í Jökli (8: 33—34). Nú hefur
Sigurjón Rist tekið við mælinum f. h. Vatna-
mælinga og annast mælingarnar. Fer hér á
eftir síðasta skýrsla hans til 5. okt. 1960.
Mælistuðull 14,16
Gengð frá mæli 19. okt. 1958. Hæð frá brún
að vökva 113.1 cm.
23. maí 1959 var hæðin 103.4 cm
5. júní 1960 - - 92.7 -
5. okt. 1960 - - 91.5 -
Samkvæmt þessu var úrkoman:
19. okt. '58—23. maí '59 (7 mánuði) 1374 mm.
23. maí '59—5. júní '60 (11 mánuði) 1515 —
5. júní '60—5. okt. '60 (4 mánuði) 170 —
Leiðrétt og áætluð ársúrkoma verður:
Okt. '58—okt. '59 1374 + ca. 200 = 1570 mm.
Júní '59—júní '60 1515 + 35 = 1550 —
(Okt. '59—okt. '60 má áætla , 1500 — )
Alls hafði úrkoman mælzt 3059 mm í tvö ár,
frá 19. okt. 1958 til 5. okt. 1960.
Mælir var hreinsaður og sett á hann CaCl^.
Hæð að vökva var 125.5 cm, þegar gengið var
frá honum 5. okt. 1960.
