Precipitation Frequency for Wake Island, Pacific Islands - NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 5

This GIS grid atlas contains precipitation frequency estimates for the Pacific Islands that are based on precipitation data. This atlas is a new release from the NWS and does not update any other publication. The precipitation frequency grids are available for durations from 5 minutes through 60 days, and for average recurrence intervals of 1 year through 1,000 years. All grids are in geographic coordinate system (WGS84 horizontal datum) and units are in 1000th of inches. AMS and PDS results are provided; refer to published documentation for differences between the two.
