Extended Data Fig. 3. Kotzebue and Brooks Range Remote Automated Weather Stations (RAWS) show stable lapse rate.

Extended Data Fig. 3

Blue lines show regression of mean daily July air temperature on elevation by year (2012-2019) in northwest Alaska. Dotted lines give fixed effects slope and intercept of linear mixed effects model (year as random factor) of temperature on elevation at four weather stations: “Kotz” is Kotzebue airport and three remote automated weather stations (RAWS) within 250 km of Kotz are as follows: “Salm” is Salmon, “Kalu” is Kaluich, and “Imel” is Imelyak. The vertical dashed line at AOI is located at 460 m asl, the elevation of the oldest aged colonist in the AOI. Numbers on bottom axis give elevations of weather stations named on top axis. Mean (± se) July lapse rate is −4.99 (± 0.26) ºC km−1 (SI Calc. 7.2). Correlations of temperature from Kotzebue with temperatures from Salmon, Kaluich, and Imelyak RAWS were 0.967, 0.962, and 0.973 respectively (SI Calc. 7.1).
