Interesting March Factoid


March had the greatest average daily temperature range of any month of record in Fairbanks.
The average high was 25.4 and the average low was -10.8, for a mean diurnal range of 36.2 degrees. At the Goldstream Valley Coop site, the mean range was a stunning 43.6 degrees (29.5, -14.1).

Here on the ridge, the mean range was an almost exactly normal 14.0 degrees

This illustrates both the power of the sun and the efficiency of radiation cooling.
