Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data set contains 1971-2000 mean annual precipitation estimates for west-central Nevada. This is a raster data set developed using the precipitation-zone method, which uses elevation-based regression equations to estimate mean annual precipitation for defined precipitation zones (Lopes and Medina, 2007.) This data set is based on the 30-meter National Elevation Dataset. Reference Cited Lopes, T.J., and Medina, R.L., 2007, Precipitation Zones of [...]
