Climate:

The longest running site in the HJ Andrews. Surrounded on all sides by thick forest with tall trees, located directly in middle of clearing (15-20m from trees). Located in a clearing up and across the main road from Lookout Creek, with cold-air drainage possibly affecting temperature regime. Surrounding forest plays a major role in insolation regime, though site is completely open directly above. Along with PRIMET, appears have cooler and somewhat unusual long-term temperature trends compared to the rest of the HJ Andrews. (JWS 2001)
