The climatic warming study ana- lyzed more than 70 years of climate records recorded at AMC’s Pinkham Notch headquarters and at the Mount Washington Observatory on the summit of Mount Washington. “There are few high-elevation weather records of longevity,” said Kimball, “and Mount Washington has one of the best data sets available.” The research was supported by funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and was performed in col- laboration with its research partners, LIMITED SEATING - REGISTRATION DEADLINE OCTOBER 27, 2009 the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Mount Washington Observatory, and the University of New Hampshire.
