Abstract:
Annual rainfall data within the CAP/LTER boundary. Consists of 2 Layer Packages and tabular data. The table contains rainfall data from 2000 to 2011 based on ALERT data collection sites via The Flood Control District of Maricopa County. Included are 12 classified raster datasets displaying annual rainfall data for each year as well as point data of each ALERT collection site. Also included are city boundaries, the CAP/LTER boundary, Native American Reservation boundaries, and the location of the capital as either point or polygon datasets for a location reference.
