Upward trend of temperatures in the Iberian Peninsula

Matthias Staudt has carried out an exhaustive work to homogenize temperature records of the Iberian Peninsula in the last hundred and thirty years. The curious thing is the rise in minimum temperatures. Tablelands are the most representative area from a climatic point of view; if we take them as a reference, according to Staudt´s systematized… Seguir Leyendo Upward trend of temperatures in the Iberian Peninsula
