3/22/2021 Average Weather in Golden,Colorado,United States,Year Round-Weather Spark
<br /> For each station,the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Golden according to the International Standard Atmosphere G
<br /> (https:Hen.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Atmosphere),and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis 0(https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/)between
<br /> the two locations.
<br /> The estimated value at Golden is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station,with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Golden and a given
<br /> station.
<br /> The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport(/y/145653/Average-Weather-at-Rocky-Mountain-Metropolitan-Airport-Colorado-United-States-Year-Round)
<br /> (67%,18 kilometers,northeast);Denver/Stapleton International,Co.(/y/145691/Average-Weather-at-Denver-Stapleton-International-Co.;-Colorado;-United-States-Year-Round)(29%,30 kilometers,east);
<br /> Wilkerson Pass(2.0%,83 kilometers,south);and Copper Mountain,Red Cliff Pass(/y/145631/Average-Weather-at-Copper-Mounta in-Red-Cl iff-Pass;-Colorado;-United-States-Year-Round)(1.7%,86
<br /> kilometers,west).
<br /> Other Data
<br /> All data relating to the Sun's position(e.g.,sunrise and sunset)are computed using astronomical formulas from the book,Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition L(https://www.amazon.com/Astronomical-
<br /> Algorithms-Jean-Meeus/dp/0943396611),by Jean Meeus.
<br /> All other weather data,including cloud cover,precipitation,wind speed and direction,and solar flux,come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis 0
<br /> (https:Hgmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/).This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of
<br /> weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid.
<br /> Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database G(http://www.fao.org/land-water/land/land-governance/land-resources-planning-toolbox/category/details/en/c/1036355/),published
<br /> by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
<br /> Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission(SRTM)C'(http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/),published by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
<br /> Names,locations,and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database 0(http://www.geonames.org/).
<br /> Time zones for airports and weather stations are provided by AskGeo.com C'(https:Haskgeo.com/).

<br /> We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series.While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and
<br /> spatial completeness,these reconstructions:(1)are based on computer models that may have model-based errors,(2)are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the
<br /> local variations of many microclimates,and(3)have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas,especially small islands.
<br /> We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them,that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable,and that the definition of
<br /> the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
