Description
In the Front Range of Colorado, communities use their own observations to adapt to changes in weather and climate. It turns out, however, that instrumental measurements of weather and climate often differ from human observations of the same phenomena (Milligan 2013). Building on past research, we have looked at differences in human and instrument observations as they vary by demographic characteristics of the human population in Larimer County, Colorado. Temperature and precipitation observations are the focus of this research project.
