Meteorological Data for Selected Sites along the Colorado River Corridor, Arizona, 2014-2015
This data release presents records collected from six automated weather stations in operation between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015 within the Colorado River Corridor of Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Data collection locations, equipment configurations and methods follow those of the original report (OFR 2014-1247). These files are 4-minute interval data for each of the automated weather stations, tab separated by parameter (wind direction, wind speed, wind gusts, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall). Climatic conditions during the reporting period were warm and dry early in 2014 and transitioned to average to slightly above precipitation from mid-2014 to the end of 2015. The El Nino/Southern Oscillation was in a neutral to weak El Nino state during most of the reporting period but transitioned to a strong El Nino state by October 2015.
