Climate data from a NOAA/NWS Co-op Network station are complied in Table 4.7-1 and the location is shown on Figure 4.7-3.  Figure 4.7-3 also shows precipitation data from the Spatial Climate Analysis Service (SCAS) at Oregon State University. The Meadview Basin does not contain Evaporation Pan, AZMET and SNOTEL/Snowcourse stations.  More detailed information on climate in the planning area is found in Section 4.0.3.  A description of the climate data sources and methods is found in Volume 1, Appendix A.
