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