Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Season Climatic Zones of Mainland Alaska The scope of this report is that afforded by available climatic data. These data consist of observations of temperature and precipitation from 48 weather observation stations, as listed in table 1 and shown on figure 1, operated by the Bureau of Land Management, the Federal Aviation Administration, the u.s. Air Force, the National Weather Service, and the Alaska State Highway Department, for the months of April through Septe ber, 1956 through 1965. The restriction limiting the stations to mainland Alaska serves to exclude the Arctic Slope, the Aleutian Island chain, and the Alaska Panhandle southeast of Yakutat, but encompasses the portions of the State that are chiefly affected by wildfires.
