Monthly precipitation data from a network of standard gauges at the Jornada Experimental Range (Jornada Basin LTER) in southern New Mexico, January 1916 - ongoing

This ongoing dataset contains monthly precipitation measurements
from a network of standard can rain gauges at the Jornada
Experimental Range in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA.
Precipitation physically collects within gauges during the month and
is manually measured with a graduated cylinder at the end of each
month. This network is maintained by USDA Agricultural Research
Service personnel. This dataset includes 39 different locations but
only 29 of them are current. Other precipitation data exist for this
area, including event-based tipping bucket data with timestamps, but
do not go as far back in time as this dataset.
