precip.zones: Precipitation Zones

In USGS-R/wrv: Wood River Valley Groundwater-Flow Model

Description

Precipitation zones specified for the Wood River Valley and surrounding areas. There are three precipitation zones, each containing a single weather station. Precipitation zones were distributed to maintain the geographic similarity between weather stations and zones.

Usage

precip.zones

Format

An object of SpatialPolygonsDataFrame class containing 3 Polygons and a data.frame with the following variables:

ID

numeric identifier assigned to the polygon.

PrecipZone

name of the precipitation zone: “Ketchum”, the northernmost zone with data from the Ketchum National Weather Service coop weather station. “Hailey”, central zone with data from the Hailey 3NNW National Weather Service coop weather station. “Picabo”, southernmost zone with data from the Picabo AgriMet weather station.
