Quantifying rates of climate change in mountain regions is of considerable interest, not least
because mountains are viewed as climate “hotspots” where change can anticipate or …

Diurnal mountain wind systems are local thermally driven wind systems that form over
mountainous terrain and are produced by the buoyancy effects associated with the diurnal …

Spatial climate data sets of 1971–2000 mean monthly precipitation and minimum and
maximum temperature were developed for the conterminous United States. These 30-arcsec …

Spatial climate data are often key drivers of computer models and statistical analyses, which
form the basis for scientific conclusions, management decisions, and other important …

Cold air drainage and pooling occur in many mountain valleys, especially at night and
during winter. Local climate regimes associated with frequent cold air pooling have …
