Abstract

The David James Memorial Weather Station is a few blocks south of the Life Sciences Building at Brigham Young University. From the Geography website: "Dr. David James graduated from BYU with a Master’s Degree in Science where he later taught Geography. He also taught Earth Science at Eisenhower Jr High and Pleasant Grove Jr High. He was a beloved teacher and influenced many lives for good. He also served an LDS Spanish speaking mission in Chicago, Illinois. Dr. James was a dedicated teacher in the BYU Geography Department and in 1985 established a cooperative NWS weather station on campus. Numerous students were trained by him to take the measurements over the past 30 years, and daily observations continue today. Over the course of thirty years, between 1983 and 2012, Dr. James contributed extensive information to multiple publications about Utah’s weather and climate; and he reported on numerous weather events that were used by Utah newspapers and radio and television stations." The observations taken include precipitation, temperature, and in the summer months, evaporation. Such data is vital to understanding the changing climate of Utah.

Hi Audrey.

I would find it useful if you included information in the metadata that explained what the images were images of, and some information in the metadata for the excel sheets that listed the units.

It looks like a fun project.
