Spatiotemporal variability of surface-based temperature inversions in high-latitude northcentral Yukon valleys utilizing a dense network of elevation transects
Surface-based temperature inversions (SBIs) strongly influence air temperature variability in high-latitude mountains, yet their spatial structure remains poorly resolved. To address this gap, a dense network of air temperature sensors was deployed and elevational transect analysis (ETA) was…

Journal Article
Surface temperature inversion characteristics in dissimilar valleys, Yukon Canada
Permafrost distribution in high-latitude continental mountains is a product of both latitudinal and elevationally controlled attributes. Frequently occurring surface-based temperature inversions (SBIs) significantly modify surface lapse rates (SLRs) annually. We aim to identify and quantify…

Exploring the impact of surface lapse rate change scenarios on mountain permafrost distribution in four dissimilar valleys in Yukon, Canada
A scenario-based approach was used to test air and ground response to warming with and without changes to inverted surface lapse rates in four Yukon valleys. Generally, climate warming coupled with weakening of temperature inversions resulted in the greatest increase in air temperature at low…

Modelling air, ground surface, and permafrost temperature variability across four dissimilar valleys, Yukon, Canada
Spatial maps of the air and ground thermal regime were generated for four Yukon valleys. The aim was to model air, ground surface, and ground temperature (at fine spatial resolution) using locally measured inverted surface lapse rates (SLR) to better predict temperature along an elevation gradient…

Surface-based temperature inversion characteristics and impact on surface air temperatures in northwestern Canada from radiosonde data between 1990 and 2016
Assumptions of linear lapse rates in regions prone to surface-based inversions (SBIs) can generate biases in the prediction of surface air temperature. Although studies of Arctic inversions are common, few regional studies of their characteristics exist in high-latitude regions with mountainous…
