Field maintenance of climate monitoring stations is necessary to provide for the continuous acquisition of quality meteorological data, retrieval of complete station data, and fulfilling the station standards issued by respective climate monitoring programs (e.g. NWCG 2012). Currently, the Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) maintains 10 Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) in three network parks. This report summarizes all work (annual maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, and new installations) for the 2012 hydrologic year (October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012) and includes up-to-date sensor metadata.
