Description:
Abstract:
The Tijuana River Watershed Digital Precipitation Stations file was created as part of the Tijuana River Watershed GIS database project. The locations of the stations were obtained from latitude and longitude coordinates provided by the USGS and INEGI.
Purpose:
The Tijuana River Watershed GIS Database project provides a fully integrated cross border geographic information system. One of the layers in the dataset is a digital precipitation station file. The station file is to be joined with a separate precipitation data table if any querying or analysis is to be conducted.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the data generation phase were verified by comparing the points in both the dataset and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
Completeness_Report:
The station locations are dependent on the latitude and longitude coordinates provided by the USGS and INEGI.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were generated from latitude and longitude coordinates provided by the USGS and INEGI. The method of collection of these coordinates is unknown, therefore the horizontal accuracy of these locations is unknown.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were generated from latitude and longitude coordinates provided by the USGS and INEGI. Elevations were also provided. The method of collection of these coordinates is unknown, therefore the vertical accuracy of these locations is unknown.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Station locations were taken from a listing of area stations and input into a ASCII text file. The text file was formatted in Arc/Info Generate format. The file was used as input in the Arc/Info GENERATE command and an ArcInfo point coverage was the output. The output coverage was then reprojected from geographic coordinates into UTM, NAD83, Meters to match the Tijuana River Watershed standard database projection.

Distribution_Liability:
While this data have been collected for use in spatial analysis and decision making, and for use in Geographic Information Systems, San Diego State University, Department of Geography, the Center for Earth Systems Analysis Research, and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. As with any spatial data, issues of scale, taxonomic classification resolution, and precision will affect the preceived accuracy of the data. Users are ultimately responsible for the appropriate application of and use of this data.
