Variable General Info
Precipitation ?Comment:Precipitation data are used in the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) runoff algorithm. OpenNSPECT can calculate both event and annual runoff scenarios. For annual runoff scenarios, users must also estimate the number of days that yielded surface runoff within a year. A good source for these data is the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University, which also provides access to a suite of climate maps that are available at a variety of spatial and temporal scales for the conterminous United States. These products were created using the Parameter ‒ elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) climate-mapping system. |
