    <descript>
      <abstract>Annual inorganic nitrogen wet deposition were estimated for the conterminous United States for 1982. 
The estimates were derived from inorganic nitrogen concentrations from wet-deposition samples and 
precipitation depth data.</abstract>
      <purpose>These data are intended to be used to calculate inorganic nitrogen input (or load) associated with 
atmospheric wet deposition to surface-water basins and groundwater recharge areas. These data 
were developed to support hydrologic studies that are part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) 
National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program.</purpose>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Step 1. Preprocessing - data were restricted to sites where:
a) there are valid samples for at least 75 percent of the summary period
b) precipitation amounts are available either from the rain gage or from 
    the sample volume for at least 90 percent of the summary period, and
c) there are valid samples for at least 75 percent of the total measured
    precipitation.
 
Step 2. Create NADP data points
a) Define data frame coordinate properties. Projection file is
    predefined and found in Projected Coordinate Systems,
    Continental, North America, 
    USGS Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS 
    (USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS)
b) File -&gt; Add Data -&gt; Add XY data. 
     i) The site data is in nadp_data.xlsx,
     worksheet "Seasonal Precipitation-Weighted' 
     ii) X Field = Longitude
     iii) Y Field = Latitude
     iv) Coordinate System of Input Coordinates is predefined and found 
     Geographic Coordinate System, North America, NAD83 
     in (GCS_North_Amercan_1983)
     v) 'Seasonal Precipitation-Weighted$' Events is created
c) Export Event data as feature point dataset: nadp_alldata, 
    projecting on the fly into data frame coordinates
 
Step 3. Import PRISM data
a) Downloaded annual 1982 data from  http://www.prism.oregonstate.edu/products/matrix.phtml?vartype=ppt&amp;view=data 
b) Create precipitation rasters for 1982:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Conversion Tools -&gt; to Raster -&gt; ASCII to Raster
    output: ppt1982
c) Define projection:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Data Management Tools -&gt; 
    Projections and Transformations -&gt; Raster -&gt; Define Projection 
    (GCS_WGS_1972)
d) Project to USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS and 
    resample to half the original projected resolution 
    (2338.383 m by 2338.383 m cells):
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Data Management Tools -&gt; 
    Projections and Transformations -&gt; Feature -&gt; Project
    i) Input: ppt1982
    ii) Output: ppt1982p
    iii) Output: Coordinate System: 
     USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS_version
    iv) Geographic Tranformation: 
     WGS_1972_To_WGS_1984_1 and NAD_1983_To_WGS_1984_1
 
NOTE: Steps 4 through 7 developed by Brian Kerschner of the 
National Atmospheric Deposition Program
 
Step 4. Import precipitation data associated with NADP sites
a) Add PRISM data to ArcMap: ppt1982p
b) Add NADP 1982 point data to ArcMap:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Analysis Tools -&gt; Extract -&gt; Select
    i) Input: nadp_alldata
    ii) Output: nadpppt82
    iii) Expression:  "YEAR" =  1982
c) Add new field (RASTERVALU) to point attribute table, 
    containing PRISM surface value:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst -&gt; Extract Values as Points
    i) Input point feature: nadpppt82
    ii) Input raster: ppt1982p
    iii) Output:  nadpppt82e
d) Add new field "delta"
e) Calculate difference between PRISM estimated precipitation value and 
    precipitation measured at the associated NADP site:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Data Management -&gt; Fields -&gt; 
    Calculate Field (use Field Calculator version)
    i) Input Table: nadpppt82e
    ii) Field Name: delta (added in previous step)
    iii) Expression: [Ppt_cm] * 1000 - [RASTERVALU]
    iv) NOTE: Ppt_cm is in centimeters; RASTERVALU is in mm*100
f) Create buffers around each NADP precipitation site
   (30 kilometers + new cell size, the distance in which the weights 
   will be calculated):
   ArcToolbox -&gt; Analysis Tools -&gt; Proximity -&gt; Buffer
    i) Input Features: nadpppt82e
    ii) Output: nadpppt82eb
    iii) Distance 32338.383 meters
    iv) NOTE: Some buffers overlap and areas of overlap need to reflect
     the average value of overlapping buffers. See followin steps
g) Separate buffers into non-overlapping groups and recalculating values 
    where buffers overlap: ArcToolbox -&gt; NACT Addons - &gt; 
    Group Non-overlapping Polygons  (Price and others, 2010)
    i) Input: nadpppt82eb
    ii) Output: nadpppt82ebg 
   (contains GRP; buffers with the same GRP do not overlap)
h) Use GRP to separate buffers into non-overlapping groups: 
    ArcToolbox - &gt; Analysis Tools -&gt; Extract -&gt; Select
    i) Input: nadpppt82ebg
    ii) Output: nadpppt82ebg1 for Expression: "GRP" = 1
    iii) Output: nadpppt82ebg2 for Expression: "GRP" = 2
    iv) Output: nadpppt82ebg3 for Expression: "GRP" = 3
i) Combine separate buffer groups: ArcToolbox - &gt; Analysis Tools -&gt; 
   Overlay -&gt; Union
    i) Input: nadpppt82ebg1, nadpppt82ebg2, nadpppt82ebg3
    ii) Output: nadpppt82ebu 
j) Calculate final delta value (delta_fina) for each overlapping area: 
   ArcToolbox -&gt; Data Management -&gt; Fields -&gt; Calculate Field 
   (use Field Calculator version)
    i) delta_fina = (delta + delta12) / 2 (as an example)
 
Step 5. Create Raster Weighting Surface   
a) Create raster with delta_fina value, from the buffer polygon feature:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Conversion -&gt; To Raster -&gt; Polygon to Raster
    i) Input Feature: nadpppt82ebu
    ii) Value field: delta_fina
    iii) Output Raster Dataset: nadpppt82ebr
    iv) Cell assignment type: CELL_CENTER
    v) Priority field: NONE
    vi) Cellsize: 2338.383 meters
    vii) Environments: Snap Raster: ppt1982p  
     (Aligns the cells up with the original PRISM data)
b) Calculate the distance from each NADP point, to each 2338.383 m 
    PRISM cell within the search radius (30 km + new cell size).  
    Display this surface as a new raster dataset:
    ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst -&gt; Euclidean Distance
    i) Input: nadpppt82
    ii) Output distance raster: nadp1982_ed
    iii) Maximum distance: 32338.383 meters 
     (distance of the search radius)
    iv) Output cell size: 2338.383 meters
    v) Environments: Extent nadpppt82ebr; 
      Snap Raster: ppt1982p (PRISM Raster)
 
Step 6. Create weighted precipitation surface from data: 
ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst Tools -&gt; Map Algebra -&gt; Raster Calculator
a) nadp1982_r1 = Square((1-(("nadp1982_ed")/(32338.383))))
b) Create weighting surface using on NADP precipitation data. 
    Multiply the step 6a result (nadp1982_r1) by the raster cells created
    from buffers using the delta value (nadpppt84ebr): 
    nadp1982_r2 = " nadp1982_r1" * " nadpppt82ebr"
c) Add this surface to the original PRISM (2338.383 meter resampled) 
    surface. This will give you your final weighted precipitation values.  
    The weights are calculated so that they approach the value of the
    PRISM data as you move away from an NADP site: 
    nadp1982_r3 = Int("ppt1982p" + " nadp1982_r2")
 
Step 7. Create adjusted PRSIM raster dataset by combining the 
two surface so that PRISM values are assigned to any cell that 
did not receive a weight: 
ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst Tools -&gt; Map Algebra -&gt; Raster Calculator
a) ppt1982_adj: Con(IsNull("nadp1982_r3"),"ppt1982p"," nadp1982_r3")
 
Step 8. Create point dataset for 1982
a) ArcToolbox -&gt; Analysis Tools -&gt; Extract -&gt; Select
    i) Input: nadp_alldata
    ii) Output: nadp_1982
    iii) Expression: "Year" = 1982
 
Step 9. Create raster of ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) concentration 
from data points for 1982
a) ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst Tools -&gt; Interpolation -&gt; IDW
    i) Input: nadp_1982
    ii) Z value field: NH4
    iii) Output: nh4_1982_idwr
    iv) Output cell size: 2338.383 meters
    v) Power: 2
    vi) Search radius: variable
    vii) Number of points: 5
    viii) Maximum distance: not set
    ix) Environment--Extent: ppt1982_adj; Snap Raster: ppt1982_adj; 
     Mask: ppt1982_adj]
b) ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst Tools -&gt; Interpolation -&gt; IDW
    i) Input: nadp_1982
    ii) Z value field: NO3
    iii) Output: no3_1982_idwr
    iv) Output cell size: 2338.383 meters
    v) Power: 2
    vi) Search radius: variable
    vii) Number of points: 5
    viii) Maximum distance: not set
    ix) Environment--Extent: ppt1982_adj; Snap Raster: ppt1982_adj; 
     Mask: ppt1982_adj
 
Step 10. Create raster of nitrogen load from ammonium and 
nitrate concentration, and adjusted precipitation rasters
a) ArcToolbox -&gt; Spatial Analyst Tools -&gt; Map Algebra -&gt; 
    Raster Calculator
    i) Expression: (("no3_1982_idwr" * 0.2257) + 
   ("nh4_1982_idwr" * 0.7766)) * "ppt1982_adj" * 0.001 * 0.1
