The Museum Management Plan for North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA) and Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve (EBLA) identifies the museum management issues facing the parks, and presents recommendations to address them. A team of museum management professionals developed this plan in full cooperation with the staff responsible for managing park archives, museum collections, and library resources. The museum and archival collections of the two parks differ in size and complexity. North Cascades collections have been developed over many decades and contain diverse subjects...

A network of remote climate stations is maintained by the National Park Service (NPS) to supplement existing climate sites operated by NPS cooperators. These sites are installed within each park to fill gaps in existing climate data and provide a comprehensive understanding of park-wide climate patterns. The majority of NPS climate stations occur at Olympic National Park. In contrast to other parks within the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN), few stations were operated by NPS cooperators at Olympic. In 1998, a joint U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/NPS global climate change...

Climate and weather events define the ecological characteristics found in national parks and are key to understanding and interpreting changes in natural resources.
