Description

Weather Station located at the northwest corner of Yucca Lake, in the Nevada Test Site.

Intermittent weather observations began at what became the Yucca Flat Weather

Observatory on October 1, 1956, when U.S. Weather Bureau personnel started taking observations for eight-hour periods, daily. On May 1, 1957, the station was manned by U.S. Air Force personnel in support of Operation Plumbbob. On October 1, 1957, operations were returned to U.S. Weather Bureau personnel. The station was closed from April 29 to August 16, 1959, and from May 25, 1960, to December 17, 1961. A 24-hour observations program then began with full surface and upper-air measurements to provide key meteorological information to support the underground nuclear testing program. The station was closed when the meteorological observatory was moved in May, 1978, to its current location at Desert Rock Airport.
