英文摘要	The primary purpose of this project was to assemble and disseminate historical and current records of daily precipitation in and surroundingthe Grand Canyon. A secondary goal was an exploratory evaluation of the synchronicity of climate patterns as revealed by analysis of annual and daily precipitation. In this study, we explore the climate variability of the study area with a specially compiled dataset consisting of daily precipitation values from 846 weather stations spread across the Grand Canyon region of the American Southwest. In addition, we compiled high-resolution weather data from 10 automated weather stations located along the Colorado River within Grand Canyon, Arizona, and maintained bythe U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GMRC) between 2007 and 2009. Taken together, these data span 117years from 1893 through 2009 (dataset available online at http://pubs.usgs. gov/of/2014/1006/). Although exploratory in nature, results presented here suggest that multidecadal patterns of precipitation variability have affected the climate of the local Grand Canyon area much as they have the southern Colorado Plateau and adjacentMojave Desert (Hereford and others, 2002, 2003, 2006).
