Raster of unique PRISM IDs in the conterminous United States

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-08-26T00:00:00Z
This metadata record describes a raster of unique PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model) identifier (PRISMID) values. The data are in ESRI's ArcInfo ASCII raster format, a non-proprietary text interchange format. PRISM climate data produced by the PRISM group at Oregon State University, such as time series of monthly precipitation and temperature, can be linked to the raster via the unique PRISMID values. In addition, model-estimated water budget components--including runoff (streamflow per unit area), evapotranspiration, snowfall and soil moisture storage--can be linked to the PRISM raster.
