Originator:

The original Average Annual Precipitation Zones layer was developed by California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Rr_rain.shp was created by Circuit Rider Productions, Inc. Polygon features from the original source data were selected based on their spatial location within the extent of the Russian River basin. This metadata file incorporates information that is specific to this layer as well as information that is available in the original metadata file for the Average Annual Precipitation Zones layer (rain.txt). The portions of this metadata file that borrow text from rain.txt are indicated in quotation marks.

Description:

Abstract: " Isohyetal lines of equal average rainfall were
digitized from a 1:1,000,000 source map compiled by S.
E. Rantz, U.S. Geological survey, 1969, 1972. The map
is based on data covering the period 1900-1960.
Average rainfall zones were created by averaging the
rainfall for isohyetals bounding "

Purpose:

"Average rainfall is useful as one factor in defining
unique ecological zones, bioregions"
