Weather & Climate

Weather and climate play significant roles in driving both physical and ecological processes. 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. At the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network, we monitor weather and climate at all eight of our national parks. Learn more about our work in the articles below.
