2020 Weather in Review: Gateway National Recreation Area
Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network. 2021. 2020 Weather in Review: Gateway National Recreation Area
Weather and climate play significant roles in driving both physical and ecological processes. For example, the active processes that shape the North Atlantic coastline are largely the result of meteorological events such as wind-driven waves. For research and long-term ecological monitoring, weather and climate data provide the potential for correlations to be made with observed physical and ecological pattern data. This resource brief provides a summary of both historic and current (2020) weather data for Gateway National Recreation Area units in Kings County, New York (NY) and Monmouth County, New Jersey (NJ). Because tide levels and wind can be significant for coastal parks, the annual water level and wind data are included.
