"The goal of this study is to document the primary weather observational path at Nantucket, Massachusetts, leading to the current and on-going weather observational program on the island. Throughout the research for and preparation of this study, the goal was to produce a document that future studies can use to evaluate the validity of the data that were collected here, judge the trustworthiness of the observers who collected them, and determine the climatological significance of the whatever variability may be discerned"--P. 2. prepared by Stephen R.
