ABSTRACT:

This resource contain data used to investigate how elevation influences rainfall intensity; assess differences in warm season rainfall estimates between MRMS, gridMET, PRISM, and tipping bucket gauges; and assess the reliability of MRMS and tipping for capturing rainfall events that generate a stream response. The study area includes the northern Colorado Front Range mountains and encompasses the Cameron Peak Fire and East Troublesome Fire. The study period is June through September 2021, 2022, and 2023. The journal article associated with this resource is published here: XXXX. The code used to analyze this dataset is available here: XXXX.
