DS-777 Average Annual Actual Evapotranspiration, 2000 to 2009, in inches estimated from the Soil Water Balance (SWB) Model for the High Plains Aquifer in Parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The water-budget components geodatabase contains selected data from maps in the, "Selected Approaches to Estimate Water-Budget Components of the High Plains, 1940 through 1949 and 2000 through 2009" report (Stanton and others, 2011). Data were collected and synthesized from existing climate models including the Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) (Daly and others, 1994), and the Snow accumulation and ablation model (SNOW-17) [...]

本数据集发布于2016年10月1日之前，彼时美国地质调查局（USGS）规范科学数据审核、批准与发布的政策尚未生效，该政策详见《美国地质调查局勘测手册第502.8章：基础科学实践：科学数据发布的审核与批准》。本水平衡分量地理数据库收录了《1940-1949年与2000-2009年高平原地区水平衡分量估算方法选介》报告（Stanton等，2011）中的精选地图数据。数据集采集并整合自现有气候模型，包括独立坡度参数-海拔回归模型（PRISM，Daly等，1994）以及积雪积累与消融模型（SNOW-17）[...]
