Logical_Consistency_Report: Each point is derived from a record in the source database. Completeness_Report: Each point within the Green River Basin boundary is represented from the source document and is attributed to the same extent. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal Positional Accuracy is tested by visual comparison of hard copy check plots against source materials and verifying the location of the data on screen relative to other data layers in the geographic area.

The dBase file was then imported as a shapefile using an ArcView Avenue script. The Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado weather stations were combined into one shapefile which was clipped using a boundary coverage of the Green River Basin. The final shapefile was converted to the coverage [grnstn] through ArcCad version 14.
