Data supporting "The Role of Seasonal Precipitation Sequences in Shaping the Climate of the US Southwest"

Data presented in this entry are seasonal total precipitation and average temperature for five different regions across the southwest United States. The seasonal values are derived from monthly values of the PRISM gridded climate dataset. The regions were developed using a clustering technique detailed in the corresponding manuscript. 

Region values are presented in columns with the following labels:

"Colorado Plateau (CP)","Great Plains (GP)","Lower Gila/Colorado (LGC)","Upper Gila (UG)","Rio Grande (RG)"
