USA Telephone No. For example, increasing elevation decreases temperature and increases precipitation.
Southwest aspects receive much more solar radiation then north aspects.
This project is building computer algorithms to calculate variable microclimate conditions of daily temperature, humidity, solar radiation and precipitation using simple weather station data from airports. The final computer models will build continuous daily maps of these conditions. These microclimate maps can be used to help define forest site quality, regeneration survival, wildlife habitat, snowmelt rates, fire danger and many other resource management applications.
