<br /> For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Leadville according to the
<br /> International Standard Atmosphere Cl(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard-Atmosphere), and by the
<br /> relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis 0(https:Hgmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/)
<br /> between the two locations.
<br /> The estimated value at Leadville is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station,
<br /> with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Leadville and a given station.
<br /> The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Lake County Airport (/y/145632/Average-Weather-at-Lake-County-
<br /> Airport-Colorado-United-States-Year-Round) (KLXV, 93%, 3.2 kilometers, southwest);Copper Mountain, Red Cliff Pass
<br /> (/y/145631/Average-Weather-at-Cop per-Mountain-Red-Cliff-Pass;-Colorado;-United-States-Yea r-Round) (KCCU, 3.9%, 27
<br /> kilometers, northeast); and Wilkerson Pass (K4BM, 2.9%, 71 kilometers, east).
<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,
<br /> Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition 0(https://www.amazon.com/Astronomical-Algorithms-Jean-Meeus/dp/0943396611),
<br /> by Jean Meeus.
<br /> All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's
<br /> MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis C*(https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/reanalysis/MERRA-2/).This reanalysis combines
<br /> 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-
<br /> governance/land-resources-planning-toolbox/category/details/en/c/1036355/), published by the Food and Agriculture
<br /> Organization of the United Nations.
<br /> Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)G(http://www2jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/), published by
<br /> NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
<br /> Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database OF

<br /> basis of the content presented on this site.
<br /> We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of
<br /> important data series.While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these
<br /> reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2)are coarsely sampled on a 50 km
<br /> grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty
<br /> 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
<br /> given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of
<br /> preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
