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.
