Description:
Abstract:
The RAWS feature class contains point corporate data which depicts Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) sites. This feature class is a product of the Pacific Northwest Region Coverage to Geodatabase Conversion Project in an effort to standardize data throughout the Region.
Purpose:
Corporate data contained within the RAWS feature class is intended for spatial display and analysis purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
There are approximately 2,200 interagency Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) located throughout the United States. These stations monitor the weather and provide weather data that assist land management agencies with a variety of projects such as air quality, fire danger, and information for research applications. This dataset shows point spatial locations of RAWS as describe by the Location Information for the Automated Sorting, Conversion And Distribution System (ASCADS) Database. Typical information collected at most, but not all RAWS include; wind speed, precipitation, barometric pressure, fuel moisture and temperature, soil moisture, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity.
