INSTRUCTIONS TO EXTRACT DATA FROM THE ARC050 DATABASE
ACR050 provides data for one year of any year for one station. Only one output parameter can be displayed at any one time. Additional submittals may be made.
The Bureau of Reclamation HYDROMET database stores all of the data in a WATER YEAR format. A water year begins on October 1st of any year and ends on September 30th of the following year, example - Water year 1997 includes data from October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997. Keep this in mind when requesting data.
All data values must be input using CAPITAL letters.
At the What Water Year (YYYY) box, type in the 4 digit year of choice. To move to the next input box, either hit TAB or move the CURSOR to that box. Hitting the ENTER at this point will cause the program to malfunction and no data will be retrieved.
