Kennewick, WA

The Kennewick site is located in southern Washington near the town of Kennewick at an elevation of 2200 feet. The site was originally instrumented in 1976 with a single anemometer at 105 feet. In September 1987 a new tower was installed and the sensor was lowered to 86 feet. The time series of monthly means for the entire period of record at Kennewick are presented in the figure below. The dotted portion of this time series represents the data from the sensor after it was lowered from 105 feet to 86 feet.
