2003-2017 Climate Data, West Station, Cape Bounty, Nunavut

Automated weather station including a shielded air temperature sensor/logger and a tipping bucket rainfall gauge and data logger. Station comprised of tripod 1.5 high with temperature radiation screen at 1.5 m above ground. Sensor failure resulted in minor gaps in the air temperature and rainfall records, but were filled with data collected at both EastMet (operational from 2003-2008, CCIN: 9889) and MainMet (CCIN: 9885), as these records show a statistically significant correlation (Pearson r = 0.99) with WestMet, and were considered to be suitable estimates for missing data. As a result, our composite record has no temperature gaps and only one gap in the rainfall record during the runoff period (August 2012). Full details are provided in the data file.
