Summer Temperatures in Interior Alaska.
Annual degree-day summations over bases of 43F and 50F in 15-day periods from May through August are given for the period of record for five interior Alaska climatic stations. Average temperature and precipitation data are included. Patterns of summer temperature in interior Alaska are analyzed in t...
