- Weather data
- Data obtained from the NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) POWER Project funded through the NASA Earth Science/Applied Science Program
Reanalysis (weather model constrained by observations) on a coarse grid of about 50 km. Values represent a large area and can differ from local conditions, especially on islands, coasts and in mountains. Snow depth is the model value for the grid cell, not the depth on the slopes. No sunshine duration.
