Study area maps for 20-County Atlanta. Figure 2A presents the names and locations of the 14 meteorological monitoring stations across 20-county Atlanta. Figure 2B presents the spatial distribution of urban core and non-urban core counties and the cooperative monitoring stations within these areas.

Temperature data from the cooperative meteorological stations were used in sensitivity analyses. Urban counties (> 250,000 population and 1000 people/square mile): Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton and Gwinnett Counties. Non-urban core counties: Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Coweta, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Rockdale, Spalding, and Walton.
