A QUICJ AND DIRECT METHOD FOR ESTIMATING MEAN MONTHLY GLOBAL TEMPERATURES FROM 500MB D@TA* |
|
| Authors: | Charles G. Markham |
| Abstract: | Year-month mean 500mb contour positions are used to estimate Northern Hemisphere temperature variations for 1946–1980. The method is capable of giving early evidence of climatic change. Global application awaits accumulation of similar data from the Southern Hemisphere. Results are compatible with those obtained using surface data. |
