The document outlines a project to create a database and interface to analyze temperature data from sites in the La Sal Mountains in Utah. Key requirements include calculating average temperatures monthly, seasonally and yearly for different sites, analyzing temperature trends, handling data loss, calculating and exporting reports, and representing data in graphs. The project plan is to meet weekly with the client, gather further requirements, design the software while researching similar existing tools, and create an interface that allows the client to manipulate the temperature data.
