| Title: | Daily climatological observations from Sapelo Island, Georgia, from June 1980 through June 2001 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract: | Daily summaries of air temperature and precipitation were collected from the National Weather Service weather station on Sapelo Island, Georgia, from June 1980 through June, 2001. The station (NWS Station 97808) is located at the University of Georgia Marine Institute (UGAMI), and has been in continuous operation since 1957. Observations are logged and transmitted to the NWS by UGAMI personnel, and archived by the NOAA National Climatic Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/). The monitoring station is described on the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems web site at http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/lter/research/mon/ugami.htm. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
