Abstract
Using regularly collected climatological data, mean monthly temperatures as a function of elevation are estimated for the period 1958–73 over a portion of Virginia and West Virginia. These data can be used to make improved climatological maps of mean temperature distribution over the region. The application of this method to other geographical regions is straightforward.
