Station data were subjected to quality control checks by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center. Some data that was not already digitized by NCDC was done so by the Hawaii State Climate Office and Haleakala National Park and Biological Resources Division (HaleNet).\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n All data were based on precipitation-reporting stations that had at least 15 years of hourly and/or 20 years of daily precipitation data between 1899 and 2005. Similar quality assurance procedures were used with all input data sets.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This spatial dataset was prepared by spatially interpolating point precipitation frequency estimates. The precipitation frequency estimates were calculated using regional L-moment statistics based on an annual maximum series data. The spatial interpolation of the point precipitation frequency estimates was accomplished with Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) coupled with a derivation process called the cascade, residual add-back (CRAB) procedure. So-called \"index flood,\" in this project the mean annual maxima, grids were created using PRISM at Oregon State University. PRISM is an analytical tool that uses point data, a digital elevation model, and other spatial data sets to generate gridded estimates of climatic parameters. PRISM is uniquely designed and constantly updated to map climate in the most difficult situations, including high mountains, rain shadows, temperature inversions, coastal regions, and other complex climatic regimes. CRAB is used to actually derive the precipitation frequency grids. CRAB is a derivation process that utilizes the strong, linear relationship between a particular duration and frequency (e.g., 50-year 24-hour) and the next higher frequency (e.g., 100-year 24-hour). Within an L-moment region this relationship is constant and known as the Regional Growth Factor (RGF). With the CRAB procedure however, a global (all-region) relationship is developed based on actual observing-site data, then a linear relationship is applied to the preceding grid (i.e., 50-year 24-hour) to establish a first-guess 100-year 24-hour grid. Knowing regional differences occur, residuals (predicted minus observed) are calculated for each observing-site and then normalized (divided by) by the preceding estimate (50-year 24-hour). These (point) normalized residuals are then spatially interpolated to a grid. The resultant grid is then un-normalized by multiplying it by the preceding grid to obtain a grid of actual residuals (in inches). The last step is to simply add the residual grid to the first-guess grid to arrive at the final 100-year 24-hour grid. The process, as the term cascade implies, utilizes a previously derived grid to derive the next grid. So the same process is followed for deriving the 200-year 24-hour grid, but instead of the 50-year 24-hour grid being used as the predictor, the new 100-year 24-hour grid is used. For more details about the processes used to create this grid, please see the NOAA Atlas 14 documentation.\n \n \n 2009-05-01T00:00:00\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: Location and values of known hourly precipitation amounts.Source Type: online\n \n \n \n \n Hourly Precipitation Data\n \n \n \n \n 2005-01-01\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Asheville\n \n \n NC, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n publisher\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n originator\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DSI3240\n \n \n None\n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) 2005 Hourly Precipitation Data DSI3240 None Asheville, NC, USA National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1948-01-01\n 2005-12-31\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: Location and values of known daily precipitation amounts.Source Type: online\n \n \n \n \n Daily Cooperative Summary of the Day\n \n \n \n \n 2004-01-01\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Asheville\n \n \n NC, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n publisher\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n originator\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DSI3200, DSI3206\n \n \n None\n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) 2004 Daily Cooperative Summary of the Day DSI3200, DSI3206 None Asheville, NC, USA National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1899-01-01\n 2005-12-31\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: Location and values of known hourly and daily precipitation amounts at National Weather Service First Order stations.Source Type: online\n \n \n \n \n First Order Summary of the Day\n \n \n \n \n 2004-01-01\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Asheville\n \n \n NC, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n publisher\n \n \n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)\n \n \n originator\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n First Order Summary of the Day\n \n \n None\n \n \n \n \n National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) 2004 First Order Summary of the Day First Order Summary of the Day None Asheville, NC, USA National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/ncdc.html\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1899-01-01\n 2005-12-31\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: Location and values of known daily monthly maxima precipitation amounts.Source Type: disc\n \n \n \n \n Daily Monthly Maxima Precipitation Data\n \n \n \n \n 2005-01-01\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hawaii State Climate Office\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Honolulu\n \n \n HI, USA\n \n \n \n \n \n \n publisher\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hawaii State Climate Office\n \n \n originator\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/MET/Hsco/\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n State monthly maximum data\n \n \n None\n \n \n \n \n Hawaii State Climate Office 2005 Daily Monthly Maxima Precipitation Data State monthly maximum data None Honolulu, HI, USA Hawaii State Climate Office http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/MET/Hsco/\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1948-01-01\n 2001-12-31\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: Location and values of known daily monthly maxima precipitation amounts.Source Type: electronic mail system\n \n \n \n \n HaleNet Data\n \n \n \n \n 2007-01-01\n \n \n publication\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Haleakala National Park and Biological Res.
