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.

本持续更新数据集收录了美国新墨西哥州多纳安娜县（Dona Ana County）霍纳达实验牧场（Jornada Experimental Range）内标准罐式雨量计（standard can rain gauges）组网的月度降水量测量数据。
当月降水会在雨量筒内自然积存，每月月末通过量筒（graduated cylinder）进行人工量测。
该观测网络由美国农业部农业研究服务局（USDA Agricultural Research Service）人员运维管理。
本数据集共涵盖39个监测点位，但其中仅29个为当前在用点位。
该区域另有其他降水观测数据，包括带时间戳的基于事件的翻斗式雨量计数据，但此类数据的时间跨度均不及本数据集久远。
