Study region with subregions and spatial distribution and elevation of the 85 stations (denoted by blank circles). The colour represents the DEM (m) from the shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM). The range of station elevations (solid bar with diagonal) as well as the number of stations in each region (solid bar). Further division of regions 2 and 3 into regions A–D occurred to validate estimated daily mean temperature and LR.
