Values for the four thermal parameters included in site selection metrics. Values are all averages from 2003–2012 and include measurements for minimum, mean, maximum, and standard deviation (SD) for each thermal parameter. The range at which each factor was classified as low_TP, mod_TP, or high_TP site is also shown.
