Minnesota. Department of Natural ResourcesThis data set depicts 30-year averages (1961-1990) of monthly and annual sum precipitation for Minnesota. These isolines and regions were created using kriging and latticecontour operations on precipitation point data from a 5-state area. Data is stored in a regions model, with separate regions for each monthly and annual sum 30-year average (e.g., region.apr represents the average April sum precipitation across Minnesota for the period 1961-1990).Climatic analyses and forecasting; hydrologic modeling; forestry/agricultural analysesContours and regions are derived from data collected at 822 stations across a 5-state area (Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa) over the period 1961-1990.Filesatmos-1969-1990-mn-precip-avgengPublicMN Precipitation Average (1961-1990) [Minnesota]DatasetsMinnesotaMinnesota Geospatial Commons
