That's only a 150' above the airport but as the upper air plots show, that's enough to be quite a bit milder (on average) in winter.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946704894714514716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-49792476157376516772011-11-27T20:08:10.795-09:002011-11-27T20:08:10.795-09:00Is UAF West Ridge located on a high-elevation area...Is UAF West Ridge located on a high-elevation area, and therefore, is warmer because of temperature inversion?
