More DescriptionThis 2011 annual report is a descriptive summary of climate data from four national park units including Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway and Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. The report focuses on five key climate metrics: temperature, precipitation, snowpack, drought, and streamflow. The annual report is part of a multi-network strategy for enhanced monitoring to better address rapid climate change in high elevation parks (Bingham et al. 2010). The reporting period is the 2011 calendar year (January-December) for temperature, precipitation, and drought, and the previous water year (October 2010-September 2011) for streamflow and snowpack.
