Long-term data records are essential to detect and understand environmental change, in particular in generally data-sparse high-latitude and high-altitude regions. Here, we analyse a 47-year air temperature record (1965–2011) at Tarfala Research Station (67° 54.7′N, 18° 36.7′E, 1135 m a.s.l.) in nor...
