Weather and Climate Inventory, Klamath Network, National Park Service, 2007
3.0. Methods
Having discussed the climatic characteristics of the KLMN, we now present the procedures that were used to obtain information for weather/climate stations within the KLMN. This information was obtained from various sources, as mentioned in the following paragraphs. Retrieval of station metadata constituted a major component of this work.
