Resource Abstract:
- description: This tabular data set represents the 30-year (1971-2000) average annual precipitation in millimeters multiplied
by 100 compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of selected Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). The source
data were the United States Average Monthly or Annual Minimum Precipitation, 1971 - 2000 raster data set produced by the PRISM
Group at Oregon State University. The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the Environmental Protection
Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale surface-water quality modeling
(Nolan and others, 2002; J.W. Brakebill, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 2008). Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1
catchment for the conterminous United States covering New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee
(MRB2), the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi,
Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6), the Pacific Northwest (MRB7)
river basins, and California (MRB8).; abstract: This tabular data set represents the 30-year (1971-2000) average annual precipitation
