Abstract: Autumns in the Northern Hemisphere during the 1974?78 pentad were substantially cooler than in the pentad ending in 1938. Zonally averaged surface air temperature in October along latitude 80°N was 4.8°C lower, while summers ...

Abstract: Monthly mean surface albedo for the full spectra range of incoming solar radiation and average atmospheric properties is estimated for the period 1 April 1974?31 March 1975. It can be considered approximately representative ...

Abstract: An appreciable number of nonurban stations in the United States and Canada have been identified with statistically significant (at the 90% level) decreasing trends in the monthly mean diurnal temperature range between ...

Abstract: A network of 14 nonurban stations was used as a first step toward understanding the character of change of daily temperature between 1948 and 1983 across the United States. Overall, in the eastern two-thirds of the country ...

Abstract: Meteorological stations located in an urban environment in North America warmed between 1941 and 1980, compared to the countryside, at an average rate of about 0.12°C per decade. Secular trends of surface air temperature ...
