Downscaling Maximum Temperatures to Subkilometer Resolutions in the Shenandoah National Park of Virginia, USA

Table 2

4 km PRISM mean elevation, 4 km PRISM lapse rate based on 800 m PRISM climate means, and July 2011, 2012, and 2013 4 km PRISM mean July for the locations at which temperature sensors were deployed along the west slope and east slope of SNP.

PRISM variable	West slope	East slope
4 km mean elevation from PRISM (m)	646.69	888.89
4 km PRISM lapse rate based on 800 m PRISM climate means (°C km^−1)	7.84	7.80
2011 mean July from PRISM (°C)	30.87	28.72
2012 mean July from PRISM (°C)	30.08	28.19
2013 mean July from PRISM (°C)	27.46	25.61
