Description:
Abstract:
The evaporation database can be retrieved by station ID number, county or station name to tell how much evaporation occurred in a monthly or daily time period.  The evaporation database is monthly or daily data in table format.
Purpose:
This evaporation data can be used as a digital layer in various studies.
