El Salvador Precipitation Strip Chart Digital Image Records

Description

This dataset consists of images and keyed data of daily precipitation strip charts for the country of El Salvador and have a period of record ranging from 1984 to 2010. The strip charts were rescued and imaged by the International Environmental Data Rescue Organization (IEDRO). These precipitation chart forms contain continuous ink traces representing the instantaneous measurement of rainfall amounts for a 24-hour period. The chart form background has a calibrated grid (usually in mm or inches) superimposed on the chart.
