Source maps are based primarily on U.S. Weather Service data for approximately 800 precipitation stations. In the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas, the USWS data has been supplemented by county and local agency precipitation data. The data was collected over a 60-year period (1900-1960). The minimum mapping unit is 1000 acres. The isohyetal contour intervals vary due to the degree of variation of annual precipitation with horizontal distance.</abstract><purpose>PRECIP polygons represents lines of equal mean rainfall (isohyets) in California.</purpose></descript><citation><citeinfo><origin>Caltrans</origin><pubdate>Unknown</pubdate><title Sync="TRUE">precip</title><ftname Sync="TRUE">precip</ftname><geoform Sync="TRUE">vector digital data</geoform><onlink>http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tsip/gis/datalibrary/gisdatalibrary.html</onlink></citeinfo></citation><timeperd><current>publication date</current><timeinfo><sngdate><caldate>19940101</caldate></sngdate></timeinfo></timeperd><spdom><bounding><westbc Sync="TRUE">-124.409772</westbc><eastbc Sync="TRUE">-114.131494</eastbc><northbc Sync="TRUE">42.009491</northbc><southbc Sync="TRUE">32.534124</southbc></bounding><lboundng><leftbc Sync="TRUE">-124.409772</leftbc><rightbc Sync="TRUE">-114.131494</rightbc><bottombc Sync="TRUE">32.534124</bottombc><topbc Sync="TRUE">42.009491</topbc></lboundng></spdom><natvform Sync="TRUE">Shapefile</natvform></idinfo>

All maps used in the compilation of data were adjusted to a common scale of 1:1,000,000, resulting is some loss of precision. However, the inherent inaccuracies of an isohytal map for a mountainous region such as California are such that the resulting feature class is considered to be sufficiently precise for most uses.</logic><complete>Dataset is complete as of 19940101</complete></dataqual><dataIdInfo><envirDesc Sync="TRUE">Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195) Service Pack 4; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.1.0.722</envirDesc><dataLang><languageCode Sync="TRUE" value="en"></languageCode></dataLang><idCitation><resTitle Sync="TRUE">precip</resTitle><presForm><PresFormCd Sync="TRUE" value="005"></PresFormCd></presForm></idCitation><spatRpType><SpatRepTypCd Sync="TRUE" value="001"></SpatRepTypCd></spatRpType><dataExt><geoEle><GeoBndBox esriExtentType="native"><westBL Sync="TRUE">-124.409772</westBL><eastBL Sync="TRUE">-114.131494</eastBL><northBL Sync="TRUE">42.009491</northBL><southBL Sync="TRUE">32.534124</southBL><exTypeCode Sync="TRUE">1</exTypeCode></GeoBndBox></geoEle></dataExt><geoBox esriExtentType="decdegrees"><westBL Sync="TRUE">-124.409772</westBL><eastBL Sync="TRUE">-114.131494</eastBL><northBL Sync="TRUE">42.009491</northBL><southBL Sync="TRUE">32.534124</southBL><exTypeCode Sync="TRUE">1</exTypeCode></geoBox></dataIdInfo><mdLang><languageCode Sync="TRUE" value="en"></languageCode></mdLang><mdStanName Sync="TRUE">ISO 19115 Geographic Information -
