Daily weather data has been assembled for about 67 stations in the GYA. NRCS and NWS are sources for the majority of this data with some obtained from the USBR in the Upper Snake River drainage. There are some RAWS stations in the GYA. Also, there are a few private observers in the GYA that have contributed data. See word file titled, "A Write-up for GYA data.docx" for complete description. Over time and through various studies, daily climate data has been assembled for about 67 stations in the GYA. NRCS and NWS are sources for the majority of this data with some obtained from the USBR in the Upper Snake River drainage. There are some RAWS stations in the GYA. Also, there are a few private observers in the GYA that have contributed data. Data is shown in Water Year format. A Water Year (WY) starts on October 1 and ends on September 30. This format fits the hydrologic systems and climatic periods better than a Calendar Year format.
