Russian River Integrated Hydrologic Model (RRIHM): Watershed PRISM Climate Data

Description

Monthly 30-year "normal" dataset covering the conterminous U.S., including the Russian River watershed, averaged over the climatological period 1981-2010. Contains spatially gridded average monthly and average annual precipitation, maximum temperature, and minimum temperature at 800m grid cell resolution. Distribution of the point measurements to the spatial grid was accomplished using the PRISM model, developed and applied by Dr. Christopher Daly of the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University. This dataset was heavily peer reviewed, and is available free-of-charge on the PRISM website. The dataset was downloaded from the PRISM website in 2019
