Digital Data Sets of Depth-Duration Frequency of Precipitation for Oklahoma, USGS OFR 99-463.

These geospatial data sets consist of surface grids of precipitation depths for seven frequencies at 12 durations used in a regional precipitation frequency analysis for Oklahoma. Eighty-four depth-duration-frequency surfaces were interpolated from precipitation-station data. The grid-cell spacing is 2,000 meters. Each depth-duration-frequency surface was interpolated using the same interpolation function and parameters. Data were used from precipitation gage stations with at least 10 years of record within Oklahoma and about 50 kilometers into bordering states. Data were analyzed for seven frequencies (expressed as recurrence intervals of 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-years) and 12 durations (15-, 30-, and 60-minutes; 1-, 2-, [...]
