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. National Wildfire Coordinating Group 2012). In 2014, the Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) Inventory and Monitoring Program operated and maintained 11 Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) and six time lapse cameras (phenocams) in three network parks. This report summarizes all work (annual maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, station removal, and new installations) for the 2014 hydrologic year (October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014) and includes up-to-date sensor metadata.
