Attribute Accuracy:
Attribute Accuracy Report:
The attributes in this dataset are derived from modeling or analytical processes. The accuracy of the attributes are dependent on the accuracy of the source materials as well as the margin of error inherent in the modeling or analytical processes.
Logical Consistency Report: Source PRISM data was not available for portions of Wyoming.
Completeness Report: Capture Method: PRISM precipitation data categorized into 5 classes from very low to very high, with a 6th classification "NA" where no source data was available..

Custom Order Process:
If unable to download data directly from the ICBEMP web site (www.icbemp.gov/spatial), follow these instructions for the manual ICBEMP data request process.
Complete and mail the Data Request Form and the Available Data List to ICBEMP, Attn: Carole Smith, c/o USDA Forest Service, 333 S.W. First Ave, 4th Floor, Portland, OR 97204 (Internet: c3smith@or.blm.gov). These forms are available from the Project web site or can be requested via e-mail from bgravenmier@fs.fed.us. Please specify requested datasets by placing a checkmark in the space provided on the Available Data List.
Spatial data are released in Unix ARC/INFO export format. ARCVIEW files are made available when applicable. The digital data are provided on 8mm tape unless otherwise specified. Please specify special instructions for export format and tape density on the request form.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon State Office will telephone the requester to advise the cost of requested data. The requested data are mailed to the requester after payment has been received by the BLM.
Cost is based on a manual labor charge of $20.00 per hour (prorated), cost of the tape(s), and size of the map/plot(s). Digital data are provided on 8mm tape (cost $9.00) unless special instructions are specified on the request form. Federal offices are provided the information free of charge.
Technical Prerequisites:
Spatial data are released as both compressed Unix-based archive ARC(.TAR.Z) export files and PC-based executable (.EXE) files. Attribute files are released in dBASE IV (.DBF) format as Unix-based archive (.TAR.Z) files and PC-based (.EXE) files. Additionally, databases are released in both dBase IV and Paradox (.DB) format as .TAR.Z and .EXE files. All files within the archive .TAR.Z files and .EXE files follow the 8.3 naming convention to enable use on the Windows 3.1 operating system.
