Tongass National Forest Monthly Climate Normals: Temperature, Precipitation, and Wind Data

Name: Tongass National Forest monthly climate normals
Creator: NASA POWER

Examine the twelve-month climatology for Tongass National Forest, based on NASA POWER records from 1991 to 2020 at a fixed 102 meter elevation point. These datasets provide structured averages for minimum, mean, and maximum temperatures alongside daily precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours. Consistent metrics reveal the annual progression of regional atmospheric conditions across every month of the calendar year.
