Compilation and Study of Meteorological Data for Los Alamos, New Mexico, 1956 through 1970

摘要

Meteorological data for Los Alamos, New Mexico, for 1956 through 1970 are available on magnetic tape in the Mechanical Design Section of LASL Group ENG-2. These data include the hourly dry-bulb temperatures;relative humidity;wet-bulb temperatures for hours when the dry-bulb temperatures are 55°F., or greater;humidity ratio;and enthalpy.nThese data were used to verify the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Weather Data and Design Conditions for Los Alamos. The winter design temperatures agreed very closely, but the ASHRAE summer dry-bulb and wet-bulb design temperatures were both high and, therefore, more conservative. The data indicate that the following are more nearly representative design temperatures for Los Alamos.
