Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.1.0.722 N/A N/A 1 The monthly precipitation (mm) for all available weather stations in Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix were downloaded from NOAA National Climate Data Center (NCDC) (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/climatedata.html). An annual mean was derived for each station. Using the X,Y position of the station, a raster files was created, and the mean precipitation for the USVI was estimated by spatial interpolation in ArcGIS, using a regularized spline interpolation method with a weight of 0.1, using the 6 nearest points. 2005-01-01T00:00:00 gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:39599 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-05T12:53:27 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2025-05-15T19:16:09 2017-09-13 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NCCOS 1002 Public No No 2017-09-13 1 Year 2018-09-13
