Abstract
The climatology of Brookhaven National Laboratory was prepared from data collected by the Brookhaven Meteorology Group formed in August 1948. At that time the principal function of the Group was to meet the atomic energy industry's requirement of collecting meteorological data for the evaluation of hazards. This involved the development of an objective method of calculating ground-level concentrations from the effluent of a 350-ft nuclear reactor stack. Over the years meteorological data collection has been expanded and is now applicable to many areas of environmental and scientific research. Temperature and precipitation data in this report cover the period from January 1, 1949, to December 31, 1973. Other meteorological parameters have been studied for shorter periods. When possible the results are presented in tabular form to facilitate usage. Data are given in the form of frequency distributions, percentage frequency distributions, joint frequency distributions, extremes, ranges, averages, and persistence studies as being most adaptable for further research.
