Time Series Analyses of Climatological Records from Auke Bay, Alaska

摘要

Physical environmental data collected by scientists from the Auke Bay Laboratoryof the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Geological Survey during 1959-93 near Auke Bay, Alaska, are summarized in tabular and graphic formats. Data include sea surface temperatures, air temperatures, precipitation (rainfall and melted snowfall), water temperatures for Auke Creek, Auke Lake, and Lake Creek, stream flows from Auke Creek and Lake Creek, and annual dates of ice-out for Auke Lake. Statistical time series methods, including spectral analysis for underlying cycles and univariate modeling for temporal dependence, were used to describe the monthly records for precipitation, snowfall, average daily high, low, and midrange air temperatures, and sea surface temperature.
