GAAR Kobuk River Basin Precipitation
2000. GAAR Kobuk River Basin Precipitation
As part of an interagency agreement between the National Park Service (NPS) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), basin characteristics are being determined for a number of watersheds in National Parks of Alaska. The purpose of this data set is to provide the NPS information about the precipitation of the Kobuk River Basin to do basic spatial analysis. A GIS coverage of the precipitation of the Kobuk River Basin can be used to determine the amount of precipitation for a given watershed. Knowledge of the amount of precipitation for a watershed can explain some of the runoff characteristics for the basin. More knowledge and understanding of the Kobuk River Basin will help the NPS in making sound management decisions.
