The Regionalization of Climate in the Western United StatesSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1976:;volume( 015 ):;issue: 009::page 920Author:Mitchell, Val L.

Abstract: The western United States is divided into climatic regions based on the air masses that predominate during the winter and summer. Equivalent potential temperature, chosen because it apparently best reduces the effect of elevation on air masses, is the parameter used to determine the locations of mean air mass boundaries during each month of the year. The climatic regions defined aid in understanding the causes of the climates of the West.
