Meteorological Monitoring Program - Data Summary - National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska - BLM

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has established a meteorological monitoring station in a remote location of the southeastern NPR-A where there is a lack of high quality dispersion meteorological data for use in modeling and climatological data representing the region between the North Slope Coastal Plain and Brooks Range foothills. The meteorological data collected are intended to support BLM management decisions for the area through air modeling and to provide information for the BLM and other agencies with a study interest in the NPR-A. The specific project objective of this monitoring program is to establish a meteorological monitoring system to measure, with known accuracy and precision, the dispersion meteorology conditions at the project site for use in refined modeling. It is the intent of this project to collect five years of Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) quality data to characterize the climatic conditions at the site.

Reports below provide a summary of the annual meteorological data collected at the BLM NPR-A PSD meteorological monitoring station located at Inigok. Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) reports are also provided.

Reports are provided for the following observational periods: April 1, 2014, and March 31, 2015 April 1, 2015, and March 31, 2016 April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2017
