Mid-Atlantic Network Weather and Climate Monitoring

Wofford J and Comiskey JA. Mid-Atlantic Network Weather and Climate Monitoring. 2007. National Park Service

Weather and climate was formally identified as a MIDN vital sign in 2008 because of its influence on the ecology of Mid-Atlantic Network park units and the surrounding areas. A monitoring protocol was published in 2012. Publications prior to 2012 are similar to later reports but may differ slightly from published protocol procedures. Publications from 2012 to 2018 include annual reports and resource briefs and follow formal protocol methods. In 2019, implementation of the MIDN weather and climate protocol was suspended pending the full implementation of the national environmental settings protocol. Nevertheless, since that time MIDN has provided short annual weather summaries (resource briefs and web articles) that rely on NOAA analyses derived from the NClimDiv dataset and NOAA's Climate-at-a-glance program.
