The US Department of Energy (DOE) is evaluating the suitability of a site in southeastern New Mexico for a Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). If constructed, the WIPP would be a repository for the permanent disposal of defense transuranic wastes and would provide space for experiments with high-level waste and for a demonstration of the disposal of spent reactor fuel. Meteorological and radiation data are presented in two appendices. Appendix A presents tabular data as follows: daily base data tabulations that report hourly averaged meteorological data; monthly base data tabulations that present daily averages, or accumulations, of all meteorological and radiation data; monthly tabulations of wind direction and wind speed frequencies of occurrence; quarterly base data tabulations that present monthly averages, or accumulations for all parameters measured; and quarterly tabulations of wind direction and wind speed frequencies of occurrence. Appendix B presents plotted data as follows: a monthly average wind rose (direction from which the wind was blowing); and a quarterly average wind rose. (JGB)
