The RFE_1999 tabular data layer is comprised of 471688 derivative raster precipitation features derived based on 8 kilometers data originally from EDC. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:3 500 000.

In order to enhance the non-grid based capabilities of the AWRD, a polygonal and point representation of the base grid was translated into shapefile format in decimal degrees, followed by the creation of annual tables consolidating the data represented.
