Carolinas Precipitation Patterns & Probabilities An Atlas of Hydroclimate Extremes

This digital atlas of hydroclimate extremes brings together information on precipitation patterns in the Carolinas over the past 120 years. It is intended to complement existing information sources on extreme precipitation (e.g., NOAA's Atlas 14) and drought (e.g., products of the National Drought Mitigation Center). Its maps and figures show various measures of precipitation and drought. Some are those used operationally by resource managers; others are new or offer spatial or temporal resolution not readily available from other sources.

The atlas also allows users to explore probability distributions and recurrence intervals for a large number of stations across the Carolinas.
