NOAA technical memorandum OAR ARL ; 259

"In this most-recent edition, the majority of Mesonet data is updated through 2006 with some additional information updated through 2007. The order of topical presentation found in both the first and second editions are preserved. In addition to climatological parameters updated, the current INL climatography includes new insights on winds and temperatures aloft derived from remote sensing systems, channeled wind flows, statistical wind trajectory groupings, and precipitation return periods. Data are presented in the context of three distinct local micro-climatic regimes (INL north-end, INL southwest, and INL southeast) that have emerged in recent assessments. It is anticipated that this most recent INL climatography will continue to be useful to planners and operations staff who support the most recent INL and ICP mission directives of revitalized nuclear reactor research and completion of the legacy cleanup"--Page 1.
