Summary

These data were compiled from six automated weather stations that together provide several points in the meteorological record across a latitudinal and elevational gradient in southeastern Utah. Recorded data from these weather stations are associated with several different studies. Meteorological data are important for quantifying short term weather events as well as longer term climate trends. Spatially separated precipitation gauges allow for better characterization of the heterogeneity of precipitation events. These data were collected from six locations running from north to south in southeast Utah. All of the weather stations use Campbell Scientific data loggers and data are collected daily via telecommunications and stored on [...]

Purpose

The purpose of these data is to provide a record of meteorological data from a number of stations across a latitudinal and elevational gradient in southeastern Utah. These data were created to measure short term weather events as well as longer term climate trends along the gradient. These data can be used to support evidence of longer term climatic trends within southeastern Utah and potentially the Colorado Plateau as a whole.
