The Mountain Weather and Climate of Denali, Alaska—An Overview

An overview of climatological and meteorological conditions and their seasonal variability in the Denali summit region is presented, based on the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis 1 dataset for the 1948–2018 period. At the Denali grid cell, a warming trend of +0.02°C significant at the 95% level is found—equival...

Description
Summary:An overview of climatological and meteorological conditions and their seasonal variability in the Denali summit region is presented, based on the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis 1 dataset for the 1948–2018 period. At the Denali grid cell, a warming trend of +0.02°C significant at the 95% level is found—equivalent to a temperature increase of 1.4°C over the time period. The number of very cold days (
