GLIDDEN THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS PROJECT WAS SUPPORTED BY THE U. S. FOREST SERVICE, THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE DURING THE 1972-73 FIELD SEASON. SEVERAL UMASS DEPARTMENTS AND THE PHYSICAL PLANT PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE, AND THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS CONTRIBUTED MANY HOURS OF FIELD WORK: GEORGE MORIN ANDREW GALE EDD VITAGLIANO JEFF HAMILTON TOM LAHEY DAN O’OKEEFE SPECIAL THANKS ARE NEEDED FOR THE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT OF THESIS ADVISORS AND PROFESSORS TERRY BURKE (UMASS DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY), AND MINNIE LEMAIRE (MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY). GUY GOSSELIN OF THE MOUNT WASHINGTON OBSERVATORY AND LEE VINCENT OF WMTW, AMONG OTHERS, PROVIDED INVALUABLE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE BOTH DURING THE PROJECT AND IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS OF FIELD RESEARCH. THIS MATERIAL WAS SCANNED FROM SELECTED ORIGINAL UMASS DATA AND PHOTOS FROM A PROJECT WHICH OCCURRED SOME 40 YEARS AGO, AND IS MADE AVAILABLE IN THE INTERESTS OF HISTORICAL CLIMATOLOGY. ONLY A SAMPLE OF THE FIGURES AND TABLES ARE INCLUDED. DUE TO INHERENT DIFFERENCES OF THE ERA IN WIND SENSORS AND RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS (PARTICULARLY BETWEEN MOUNT WASHINGTON’S OLDER PITOT-WHICH HAD ITS OWN ICING AND PRESSURE TUBE ISSUES - AND THE CANNON MOUNTAIN HEATED 3-CUPS), AS WELL AS DIFFERENCES IN EXPOSURE, IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO COMPARE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM VALUES BETWEEN SITES. CLOSE ATTENTION WAS PAID TO THE CALIBRATION OF EACH SYSTEM AT THE TIME, AND THE CANNON MOUNTAIN SENSORS UNDERWENT PRE- AND POST-EVENT CALIBRATION AND WIND TUNNEL TESTS.

They have been drawing tourists since the mid-1800s when most visitors made the trip from cities by train or horse-drawn carriages. At that time, families came to the Whites to spend a month or more enjoying the fresh air, wonderful hiking and lofty vistas. This trip is designed to give you an overview of what is available and introduce you to the diversity of the Whites.
