Variations in Surface Air Temperatures: Part 1. Northern Hemisphere, 1881–1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
The Effect of Urban Warming on the Northern Hemisphere Temperature Average
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The significance of the urban warming effect on large-scale and hemispheric mean temperature series is assessed using estimates of the urbanization bias for stations in the United States produced by Karl et al. It is ...
Impacts of Spatial and Temporal Windspeed Variability on Wind Energy Output
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Modern applications of wind energy include water pumping and, for supply of electricity, grid-connected wind turbines and wind/direct stand-alone systems. In Britain, wind energy has been found to be particularly suited ...
Variations in Surface Air Temperatures: Part 2. Arctic Regions, 1881–1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We describe annual and seasonal changes in air temperatures over high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere during the period 1881?1980. Trends (that is, fluctuations on time scales greater than 20 years) in the average ...
Comparison of Sea Level Pressure Reconstructions from Western North American Tree Rings with a Proxy Record of Winter Severity in Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reconstructions of winter (December-February) sea level pressure (SLP) from western North American tree-ring chronologies are compared with a proxy record of winter severity in Japan derived from the historically documented ...
Iceberg Severity of Eastern North America: Its Relationship to Sea Ice Variability and Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Iceberg trajectory, deterioration (mass loss), and sea ice data are reviewed to identify the sources of observed interannual and seasonal variations in the numbers of icebergs passing south of 48°N off eastern North America. ...
