COprcp: Colorado daily precipitation accumulations

Description

Three objects: 1) COprcp, a 404,326-row data frame with columns date, prcp and meta_row; 2) COprcp_meta, a 64-row data frame, with meta data for 64 stations. 3) COelev, a list of elevation for the domain at 0.02 x 0.02 degree resolution. Precipitation amounts are only given for April to October in the years 1990 - 2019. The domain has a longitude range of [-106, -104] and a latitude range [37, 41]. These choices reflect the analysis of Cooley et al. (2007).

Usage

data(COprcp) # loads all three objects

Format

A data frame with 2383452 rows and 8 variables

The variables are as follows:

date

date of observation

prcp

daily rainfall accumulation in mm

meta_row

an identifier for the row in COprcp_meta; see `Examples'

lon

longitude of station

lat

latitude of station

elev

elevation of station in metres

id

GHCDN identifier
