Abstract: Land-based compilations of gridded monthly surface air temperature anomalies, averaged into hemispheric values for the last 140 years, have been available for climatological analyses for the last 10 years or so. The analysis ...

Abstract: The hemispheric mean land-surface air temperature series developed for both hemispheres by Jones et al. are updated through 1987. The global temperature estimate for 1987 is the third warmest on record, 1858?1987. Recent ...

Abstract: Air temperature records for 26 expeditions to Antarctica that have overwintered, for periods of at least 9 months, between 1898 and 1958 have been assembled. Using a map of 1957?75 average annual temperature over Antarctica, ...

Abstract: This study is an extensive revision of the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) land station temperature database that is used to produce a gridbox dataset of 5° latitude ? 5° longitude temperature anomalies. The new database ...

Abstract: Two different sea-level pressure datasets for the strip between 20° and 40°S are intercompared. At large space-time scales the sets are virtually identical. However, for studies of short-term, regional changes caution must ...

Abstract: he potential predictability of seasonal extreme precipitation accumulation (SEPA) across mainland China is evaluated, based on daily precipitation observations during 1960?2013 at 675 stations. The potential predictability ...

Abstract: The reliability of the Australian (June 1972?April 1985) and NOTOS (1957?62) gridded monthly-mean, mean sea level pressure datasets over Antarctica is examined by comparison with station data from 29 sites over the continent. ...

Abstract: In a number of areas of applied climatology, time series are either averaged to enhance a common underlying signal or combined to produce area averages. How well, then, does the average of a finite number (N) of time series ...

Abstract: We have produced, using objective techniques, a long-term series of average Northern Hemisphere temperatures based on monthly mean station data gridded on a 5° latitude by 10° longitude grid. Difficulties in the estimation ...
