The Climate and Meteorological Data Report has been prepared for the Pipeline Gas Demonstration Plant Program, for a Demonstration Plant to be built in Perry County, Illinois, under DOE Contract No. FE-77-C-01-2012. The information presented herein is required to evaluate climate at the Plant site. The report describes the recent climate at the Demonstration Plant site area. Trends of air temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and precipitation, extreme weather and air quality are evaluated for stations in southwest Illinois and eastern Missouri. The capacity of the atmosphere over the site region to disperse gaseous emissions is evaluated. Existing air quality is evaluated with reference to state and federal regulations. Three sources provided the data for the analyses and evaluations described in the text of this report. Most of the regional data was collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and made available through the Environmental Data Service. Some information was taken from the open literature. Meteorology and air quality measurements made under the direction of Gibbs and Hill personnel site specific data.
