REDCAPP (v1.0): parameterizing valley inversions in air temperature data downscaled from reanalyses

In mountain areas, the use of coarse-grid reanalysis data for driving fine-scale models requires downscaling of near-surface (e.g., 2 m high) air temperature. Existing approaches describe lapse rates well but differ in how they include surface effects, i.e., the difference between the simulated 2...
