README: NAMMA One-minute Accumulation Rain Gauge data

This document presents the format of the files containing the rain gauge data. 
There are 7 columns of data in each of the minute accumulation files.  The first 
three contain the date, and the fourth and fifth contain the time.  Column six 
contains the minute accumulation in mm, and the last column contains the data 
quality flag.

Column #	Field

1		Month
2		Day		
3		Year
4    		Hour
5		Minute
6		One Minute Accumulation (mm)
7		Data Quality Flag (0 or -1)
		0 = Good data record
            -1 = Bad record

Note: A record was flagged as good if the rain gauge was operational.  A record 
was flagged as bad if the rain gauge or logger were determined to be not working
properly or the record was a false tip due to testing during a rain gauge site visit.

The site location, photos of each site, can be found in an accompanying PDF named:
