Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments by Major Rivers Basins in the Conterminous United States: Total Precipitation, 2002

This tabular data set represents the catchment-average total precipitation in millimeters 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 Monthly High-Resolution Precipitation Climate Data Set for the
Conterminous United States (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, 2011).

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).
