Abstract

Total precipitation in parts of the UK remains subject to considerable uncertainty, not least due to the effects of snowfall. A comparison of long-period mean annual runoff and official long-term SAAR fields leads to P-Q (precipitation minus runoff) values ranging from less than zero to more than 600 mm per annum for apparently
similar mountainous catchments in Scotland. In this study, 7 years of TBR and monthly-read rainfall data from the Feshie catchment are used along with SEPA river flows and CHESS Penman PE data to examine the disparities between catchment inputs and outputs.
