The Climate History of the Mojava Desert Region provides an overview of regional climate variations including precipitation and temperature information.
To evaluate climate variation, weather data was compiled from 48 long-term weather stations across the Mojave Desert. The stations are in western Arizona,
eastern California, southern Nevada, and southwest Utah.
The primary data set consists of about 1.2 and 1.8 million daily observations of precipitation and temperature, respectively. These data were collected
mainly at weather stations staffed by volunteers (NOAA, 1986). Some of the raw data were purchased in electronic form from EarthInfo, Inc. who obtained it
from the National Climate Data Center (NCDC), Asheville, North Carolina. These data do not contain the entire record of a particular station, as the available electronic record typically begins in 1948. To evaluate climate variation, the longest possible record is necessary. Thus, the USGS obtained from the NCDC the complete National Weather Service reports on microfiche for the four-state region of the Mojave Desert. These data were entered into the computer
manually, producing a record of precipitation beginning in 1892.
