dataset_eml_sitecharacteristicsheader

  • dataset_eml_sitecharacteristicsdescription: The Official Snow Stake is located high atop Mount Mansfield (elevation 4393' or 1339 m). Actually, the stake isn't quite at the summit: it's located a bit lower, around 3900', just off the Toll Road which leads to the summit ridge. The weather station is located at approximately 44.5248N, -72.8152W. The approximate elevation of the weather station is 3919 feet.



  • dataset_eml_sitecharacteristicsdescription: Summit of Mt. Mansfield near WCAX transmitter, in open field. Site with a southeast aspect and a 2% slope.
