This report illustrates the typical weather in Minneapolis, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from Januto December 31, 2016.
There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Minneapolis.įor each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Minneapolis according to the International Standard Atmosphere, and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations. Paul Downtown Airport (KSTP, 20%, 11 mi, east, -135 ft elevation change) Crystal Airport (KMIC, 39%, 7 mi, northwest, 26 ft elevation change).Minneapolis-St Paul International/Wold-Chamberlain Airport (KMSP, 40%, 7 mi, south, 36 ft elevation change).The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: The estimated value at Minneapolis is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Minneapolis and a given station. To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Minneapolis and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.Īll data relating to the Sun's position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition, by Jean Meeus.Īll other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis. This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid. Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.Įlevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), published by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Bleed it Out was the song that got me into LP, Hands Held High is the first rap I ever bothered to listen to the lyrics of, TLTGYA is actually my favorite LP song at this point. Names, locations, and time zones of places and some airports come from the GeoNames Geographical Database. Minutes To Midnight is the middle ground during the bands transitioning sound, featuring a wide range of styles, and it never gets stale for me.
