Abstract

Variations in temperature over landmasses during the present century are determined. The spatial patterns of change accompanying major warming and cooling episodes are mapped. The spatial representativeness of the Northern Hemisphere average is assessed and implications for proxy climate studies are considered. Finally, the seasonal breakdown of trends and correlations between monthly and annual data for the Arctic and Northern Hemisphere is considered.
