Description

This project is to analyze climate trends and variations in the six parks that comprise the Klamath Network, the PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University developed a Web-based data viewer that allows users to extract and view monthly climate data for these parks. The user can access two types of data: (1) observations from available stations; and (2) 800-m gridded data from the PRISM spatial climate data set. It is proposed that the online data viewer be expanded to include three additional parks: Point Reyes, Muir Woods, and Golden Gate Recreation Area. This project will provide detailed knowledge about changes in core climate parameters in three San Francisco Bay Area Network parks. This information is critical to a data analysis project being conducted by USGS. This analysis will integrate Vital Signs monitoring data sets of the SFAN and KLMN national parks networks with data from other sources to describe the interactions among drivers of salmon populations.
