Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains the precipitation isopleths of the state of New

Mexico. It is in a vector digital structure digitzed from a 1:500,000 paper

map of the state of New Mexico. The source software used was ARC/INFO 5.0.1

and the conversion software was ARC/INFO 7.0.3. The size of the file is

0.3 Mb, compressed.

Purpose:
The data set was created to digitally represent the average precipitation

of the state of New Mexico between the years of 1931 and 1960.

These data are typically used as background data and

should be used at scales of 1:500,000 and smaller. The data are intended for

use as a general reference to the precipitation isopleths of New Mexico for

the years given.

Supplemental_Information:
Procedures_Used:

The original source of the data set came from National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Earth Data Analysis Center manually

digitized from the NOAA 1:500,000 scale map of the state of New Mexico. Data

completeness reflect the content of the source graphic. Only

the precipitation isopleths were extracted from the source

graphic. These data meets National Mapping Accuracy Standards for 1:500,000

scale maps.

intersections, tics, overshoots, and undershoots. Tests

were performed to detect these types of errors and necessary

corrections were made.
