- Description:
- Data comes from the Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM). June, July, and August values were summed for each year from 1992 to 2008 and the sums were averaged. Units: mm/3 months.
- Data Provided By:
- Data source: PRISM Climate Group. Dataset prepared by Ray Drapek, PNW Research Station, USDA Forest Service.
- Content date:
- not specified

- Use Constraints:
- From the PRISM website: "When referring to the data, the source must be clearly and prominently stated, and include at a minimum, our name, URL, and date of data creation". Name: PRISM Climate Group, Oregon State University. URL: http://prism.oregonstate.edu Creation date: This map is an aggregation resulting from many monthly PRISM runs so there is no one date.
