Installation of a Climate Reference Network Station At Port Alsworth
Lake Clark National Park & Preserve » Installation of a Climate Reference Network Station At Port Alsworth » Document List
The purpose of USCRN is to provide and maintain future long-term (50-100 year) high-quality observations of temperature and precipitation that can be coupled to past long-term observations for the detection and attribution of climate change and with the ability to meet the stringent data quality and continuity requirements of the climate science community. Reliable observations from the CRN will allow the detection of present and future climate change, and enable scientists to increase our understanding of natural and human-induced effects. The CRN System Monitoring Parameters include air temperature, surface temperature, wind speed, precipitation, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, global solar radiation.
