Climate Impact Meteorological Stations (CLIM-MET) data from Canyonlands National Park, Utah (ver. 2.0, February 2026)

September 11, 2024

These CLIM-MET stations are meteorological stations that is designed to function in remote areas for long periods of time without human intervention. These stations measure meteorological and wind-erosion parameters under varying climatic and land-use conditions and can be used to detect and describe ongoing landscape changes. These data represent multiple years of local detailed meterological observations. These data were collected in and close to Canyonlands National Park, Utah from 1 August 2016 to 31 December 2025. These data were collected by U.S. Geological Survey researchers utilizing site visits and automated data collection data loggers. Related data on wind erosion and dust deposition can be found in Tyree et al. (2024), Geiger et al. (2019), and Urban et al. (2017). These data can be used to inform studies of local and regional landscape change as well as to provide input into regional climatic models. While previous versions are available from the author, all the records from the previous versions can be found in versions 2.0.
