Surface temperature lapse rates over complex terrain : lessons from the Cascade Mountains

Creator:

Minder, Justin R., Mote, Philip W., and Lundquist, Jessica D.

Abstract:

The typically sparse distribution of weather stations in mountainous terrain inadequately resolves temperature variability. Accordingly, high‐resolution gridding of climate data (for applications such as hydrological modeling) often relies on assumptions such as a constant surface temperature lapse rate (i.e., decrease of surface temperature with altitude) of 6.5°C km⁻¹. Using an...
