Climate is a primary driver of physical and ecological processes. We are using pre-existing data to help Great Lakes Network parks determine how weather and climate trends such as precipitation and temperature affect park resources.
Long-term Monitoring
- Gather meteorological and climate data collected by existing federal, state, and private programs.
- Use the Climate Analyzer web site to make the data available to the Great Lakes Network parks.
- Provide web links and custom data queries for real-time and historical weather data.
- Assist parks in the proper use of meteorological data.
NPS Climate Change Response Program (CCRP)
In addition to our long-term monitoring work, the NPS CCRP provides training and dozens of resources for understanding how a changing climate affects parks. Explore their website at Climate Change (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)Last updated: August 21, 2024
