Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major River Basins in the Conterminous United States: Average Daily Maximum Temperature, 2002

This tabular data set represents the average daily maximum temperature in Celsius multiplied by 100 for 2002,
compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of selected Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006).
The source data were the Near-Real-Time High-Resolution Monthly Average Maximum/Minimum Temperature
for the Conterminous United States for 2002 raster data set produced by the Spatial Climate Analysis Service
at Oregon State University.

The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the Environmental Protection Agency's
(USEPA) ERF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale surface-water quality
modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2008).

Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering New England
and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi,
and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and
Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6), the Pacific Northwest (MRB7)
river basins, and California (MRB8).
