Description:
Abstract:
The evaporation database can be retrieved by station ID number, county or station name to tell how much rainfall occurred in a monthly or daily time period. The evaporation database is monthly and daily data in table format.
Purpose:
This evaporation data can be used as a digital layer in various studies.
Supplemental Information: This coverage has been re-projected to Stateplane, NAD83 using the ArcInfo command PROJECT and clipped using the ArcInfo CLIP command to the Platte River Cooperative hydrology Study area.
