Mean Annual Precipitation in West-Central Nevada using the Precipitation-Zone Method

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 West-Central Nevada: Journal of Nevada Water Resources Association, v. 4, no 2, p. 21.
