Weather and climate is a vital sign identified by the Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN). The purpose of this document is to describe the process employed by the Southwest SWAN to identify potential climate monitoring sites throughout the SWAN parks. Forty-six potential weather station deployment sites were initially identified SWAN-wide. Each site was visited in the field (ground inspection or aerial inspection) in 2006/07. A panel of experts evaluated each site for its ability to monitor climate and climate change in the SWAN region and identified the highest priority sites throughout the SWAN parks.
