The climate at BBWM is typical for central Maine,
with a moderate marine influence due to proximity to the ocean ~60km from
the site. Climate information for Maine is available at the Maine
State Climate Office which has numerous links to climate and weather
information (http://www.umaine.edu/maineclimate/weather.htm).
Specific information about aspects of climate at BBWM related to existing temperature and moisture data collection are available at the environmental monitoring area of this site. |
