I think in your career, you will find that there are many good ideas that are not written down which can vary from situation to situation.
You shouldn't have to see it written down to decide whether or not to make a temperature correction. It gets down to -30 in Alaska and there are several 20,000 foot(or nearly so) mountains within an hour of Anchorage. If you don't make a correction, you may have a serious problem because
those mountains do exist(written in black and white). Fortunately in this case, significantly lower terrain is nearby. Might as well have TERRAIN selected on one of the ND's as there are not many thunderstorms in that region.
