Abstract
This report was written for a wide audience of readers, from engineers and scientists to individuals just waiting to know abut Los Alamos weather. For this reason, and because English units are still the standard in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reporting and publications, familiar English units are primarily used in this report. In most tables and graphs, data are presented in English units, such as degrees Fahrenheit ({degree}F), inches, and miles per hour (mph). However, metric units, such as degrees Celsius (centigrade)({degree}C), centimeters (cm), and meters per second (m/s), are also displayed on second ordinates of most graphs. Only metric units are given for some variables, such as insolation and atmospheric density. In the sections on turbulence and wind persistence, wind speed is given in meters per second because this unit is standard in dispersion meteorology. 76 figs., 73 tabs.Keywords
