Analysis of Recent Mean Temperature Trends and Relationships with Teleconnection Patterns in California (U.S.)
The global mean surface temperature has risen since the late 19th century. However, temperatures do not increase uniformly in space or time and few studies have focused on that peculiarity in the State of California. The aim of this research is to deepen our knowledge of the evolution of mean temper...

The global mean surface temperature has risen since the late 19th century. However, temperatures do not increase uniformly in space or time and few studies have focused on that peculiarity in the State of California. The aim of this research is to deepen our knowledge of the evolution of mean temperatures in the State of California on monthly, seasonal and annual time scales. The period under study comprises 40 years (from 1980 to 2019) and data from 170 meteorological stations were analysed. Statistical techniques, including Sen’s slope and Mann-Kendall, were applied to each of the stations to establish the sign and slopes of trends and their statistical significance. The spatial distribution of monthly, seasonal and annual trends was analysed using the Empirical Bayesian Kriging (EBK) geostatistical technique. The trend analysis was also carried out for the State as a whole. This research also studies the relationships between mean temperatures and nine teleconnection patterns with influence on the Californian climate.
