Abstract:

The major product of this study was a precipitation frequency atlas for the entire state of Alaska; this atlas is available at

http://dipper.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/. The process of contributing to this study provided an opportunity to (1) evaluate the

complete precipitation data-collection program for Alaska and (2) compare the new precipitation frequency estimates with

those published in 1963. It has been known for some time that the precipitation data-collection program in Alaska has many

limitations and challenges. This present report summarizes the limitations of the data collection program identified during

the study and includes a comparison of the 1963 and 2012 results for selected stations at major population centers. The

authors hope that this report will lead to improvements in data collection so that better precipitation frequency estimates can

be made in the future.
