Casey TC. 2013. Annual weather/climate data summary 2011: Pacific Island Network. Natural Resource Data Series. NPS/PACN/NRDS—2013/492. National Park Service, Natural Resource Program Center. Fort Collins, Colorado
Weather station data is presented for nine of the national parks in the Pacific Island Network (PACN). In 2012, seven of nine new Campbell Scientific (CS) stations were set up and have been recording data since February (Hawaii) and March (American Samoa). Data from these stations will be incorporated into the next report. An additional station at Kalaupapa National Historical Park and American Memorial Park will be established in 2013. The report contains general information on Pacific physical weather phenomena including ENSO (El Niño/La Niña Southern Oscillation). Abbreviated hurricane and tropical cyclone data are presented for the Pacific basin. Large storms geographically adjacent to islands with a national park are summarized. The results of each national park’s weather stations are grouped. No stations in this year’s report are within the boundaries in the National Park of American Samoa (NPSA) and American Memorial Park (AMME). Stations that have sufficient data and are within about 10 miles of a national park have been summarized.
